The present disclosure relates to a system, a method, a device, and an electronic atomizing device for detecting a nicotine content in an e-liquid. The system includes: a sampling circuit configured to acquire characteristic parameters, and the characteristic parameters being configured to calculate an impedance of the e-liquid in an e-liquid containing component; and a controller electrically connected to the sampling circuit, configured to calculate the impedance of the e-liquid according to the characteristic parameters fed back by the sampling circuit, and determine the nicotine content in the e-liquid according to the impedance of the e-liquid and a preset corresponding relation between the impedance and the nicotine content.

Disclosed is a microfluidic chip, including a chip upper cover, a chip lower layer, a membrane, a sealing gasket and a sealing ring. The microfluidic chip is provided with a sample storage zone, a droplet formation zone, a droplet storage zone, a droplet detection zone and a waste liquid storage zone. The sample storage zone, the droplet formation zone, the droplet storage zone, the droplet detection zone and the waste liquid storage zone communicate by means of a micropore or a micro-channel. The droplet formation zone is used to transform the sample phase into tens of thousands to millions of droplets, the droplets undergo the PCR reaction in the droplet storage zone, the droplet detection zone is used to perform optical detection on the droplets after PCR reaction, and the waste liquid storage zone is used to collect and store the detected droplets and continuous phase.

A gel for use in a pH or an ORP sensor, components of the gel comprising water, a reference electrolyte salt, a buffering system for adjusting pH of the gel, and a polymeric gelling agent, and the gel does not degrade under gamma irradiation.

A method for studying cell viability and protein aggregation involves establishing a Fabry Perot etalon signal within an optical spectroscopic feature, e.g., in the near infrared region. Protein aggregation and cell viability can be reflected by changes observed in the magnitude of the Fourier Transform peaks observed in the frequency or space domain associated with the contrast of the etalon. In short, the presence of viable cells and protein aggregates can degrade the etalon contrast of an etalon window. In some cases, the concentration of cells and monomeric protein can be measured as well.

Provided is an automatic analysis device that can suppress concentration of a reagent made to react with a specimen. This automatic analysis device is provided with: a reagent container which accommodates a reagent and which has attached thereto a perforable lid; a perforation unit for perforating the lid; and a reagent suction nozzle that is inserted into a hole formed by perforation and that sucks up the reagent. The automatic analysis device is characterized by being further provided with a state storage unit that stores the state as to whether the reagent container is in an unused state or in a used state, and a state update unit that, when the lid is perforated by the perforation unit while the reagent container is in an unused state, updates the state stored in the state storage unit to the used state.
