THE GOAL OF THE SAMPLE PROCESSOR FOR LIFE ON ICY WORLDS SPLICE COLDTECH GRANT IS TO DEVELOP MATURE AND INTEGRATE MICROFLUIDIC SAMPLE PROCESSING COMPONENTS AND TECHNOLOGIES INTO A PLATFORM TO SUPPORT LIFE DETECTION AND HABITABILITY CHARACTERIZATION BY FLYING THROUGH THE PLUMES OF ENCELADUS. SPLICE WILL ENABLE AND ENHANCE SPACECRAFT BASED INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE BY PROVIDING WET CHEMICAL PROCESSING OF SAMPLES OBTAINED ABOVE ON OR BENEATH FROZEN SURFACES OF OCEAN WORLDS. OBJECTIVES INCLUDE DEMONSTRATING THE CAPABILITY TO ACCEPT AND PROCESS THE SORTS OF SAMPLES ANTICIPATED FROM OCEAN WORLD MISSIONS AND TO PROCESS THEM TO MEET THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS BEING DEVELOPED FOR OCEAN WORLDS MISSIONS.
