Abstract:
Various embodiments of a sequencing system capable of rapidly imaging samples at multiple wavelengths are provided herein. In one embodiment, the system includes a fast- indexing filter wheel having a plurality of excitation and emission filters capable of being rapidly rotated into and out of communication with an excitation source (e.g., an arc lamp, a laser). For example, the filter wheel can be configured to index in an amount of time falling within a range of about 40 ms to about 60 ms, preferably 50 ms. The system can also be configured to account for vibrations resulting from the quick starts and stops of the fast- indexing filter wheel as well as vibrations resulting from other sources. Various methods of rapidly imaging a sample at multiple wavelength are also provided herein.
Abstract:
A sensor apparatus (such a chemFET, ion-sensitive FET, Ion Torrent Proton), including a substrate, a semiconductor device disposed over the substrate, the semiconductor device having a surface electrode structure, and a saccharide coating formed over the surface electrode structure. The saccharide coating can be removed prior to use, e.g., in nucleic acid sequencing. The semiconductor device can include a well and optionally a bead conjugated to a nucleic acid disposed in the well.
Abstract:
Various flowcell configurations and systems are provided as are methods of making and using same. The flowcells, systems, and methods of use can be useful in carrying out sequencing reactions and next generation sequencing methods.
Abstract:
Un aparato sensor incluye un sustrato, un dispositivo semiconductor dispuesto sobre el sustrato, el dispositivo semiconductor que tiene una estructura de electrodo de superficie y un revestimiento de sacárido formado sobre la estructura de electrodo de superficie. El revestimiento de sacárido puede eliminarse antes de su uso. El dispositivo semiconductor puede incluir además un pozo y, opcionalmente, una perla dispuesta en el pozo.
