1. A centripetally-motivated microsystem platform comprising:

  • a) a rotatable platform comprising a substrate having a surface comprising one or a multiplicity of microfluidics structures embedded in the surface of the platform, wherein each microfluidics structure comprises;

    i) a sample input port fluidly connected to ii) a chamber in thermal contact with a temperature control element, and iii) a sample outlet port, wherein the temperature control element changes or maintains the temperature of a fluid in the chamber at a temperature greater than ambient temperature, and wherein rotation of the platform maintains or changes the temperature of a fluid in a chamber to be substantially equal to ambient temperature.
