    Abstract: A method, a computer program and an apparatus for measuring a waveform associated with a chemical event occurring on an ISFET sensor array. The waveform includes at least one region associated with expected measured values and at least one region associated with unpredictable measured values. First frame averaging is applied to at least one region associated with the expected measured values. Second frame averaging is applied to at least one region associated with the unpredictable measured values. The second number of frames used for averaging is less than the first number of frames. By the variable frame averaging the amount of stored data can be reduced.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a microwell in an array structure is disclosed herein. The array structure includes a plurality of field effect transistors (FETs), where each FET has a gate structure. The method includes disposing a titanium nitride (TiN) layer on at least one conductive layer coupled to the gate structure of at least one FET. A insulation layer is disposed on the array structure, where the insulation layer lies above the TiN layer. Further, an opening above the gate structure of the at least one FET is etched to remove the insulation layer above the gate structure and to expose the TiN layer. A microwell with at least one sidewall formed from the insulation layer and with a bottom surface formed from the TiN layer is a result of the etching process. The gate structure is specified as a floating gate structure and the FET is an ISFET.

    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are provided to calibrate a sensor array with a plurality of sensors. Preferably, the sensor array consists of a plurality of ISFETs which are in fluid communication with a reference electrode. A particular reference voltage is determined, which depends on the maximum value of the overall average gain of the sensors in an array, but also on a maximum number of sensors available for the measurement. The method includes sweeping a voltage of the reference electrode from a first voltage to a second voltage. The output voltage of each of the plurality of sensors is monitored at one or more voltages within the first and second voltages. The gain of each sensor at each of the one or more voltages is determined. An overall average gain of the plurality of sensors is calculated at each of the one or more voltages. Further, an acquisition window for the sensor array is determined. The acquisition window includes a maximum distribution of sensors that provides a maximal overall average gain at a particular reference electrode voltage.

    Abstract: In one implementation, a method is described for operating a chemical sensor. The method includes initiating a chemical reaction proximate to the chemical sensor. The method further includes, during a first time interval of the chemical reaction, closing a bypass switch placed in parallel with a resistor and arranged between an output terminal of the chemical sensor and a capacitor, thereby charging the capacitor to a first voltage based on a voltage at the output terminal due to the chemical reaction. The method further includes opening the bypass switch during a second time interval of the chemical reaction, thereby charging the capacitor to a second voltage based on the voltage at the output terminal. The method further includes generating an output signal for the chemical sensor based on the second voltage on the capacitor.

    Abstract: Mathematical models for the analysis of signal data generated by sequencing of a polynucleotide strand using a pH-based method of detecting nucleotide incorporation(s). In an embodiment, the measured output signal from the reaction confinement region of a reactor array is mathematically modeled. The output signal may be modeled as a linear combination of one or more signal components, including a background signal component. This model is solved to determine the nucleotide incorporation signal.
