Abstract
Systems and methods for processing a biological sample are provided herein. For example, the system can be configured to deaggregate/declump a sample before, during, and/or after sample preparation and/or sample analysis. For example, the system can include a deaggregation device/system in communication with, for example, a nucleic acid amplification process (e.g., an ePCR system). Various embodiments of the deaggregation device are provided herein. For example, in some embodiments, the deaggregation device can include a valve, a valve manifold, a conduit, a channel, or some combinations thereof.
