    Abstract: A method for evaluating variant likelihood includes: providing a plurality of template polynucleotide strands, sequencing primers, and polymerase in a plurality of defined spaces disposed on a sensor array; exposing the plurality of template polynucleotide strands, sequencing primers, and polymerase to a series of flows of nucleotide species according to a predetermined order; obtaining measured values corresponding to an ensemble of sequencing reads for at least some of the template polynucleotide strands in at least one of the defined spaces; and evaluating a likelihood that a variant sequence is present given the measured values corresponding to the ensemble of sequencing reads, the evaluating comprising: determining a measurement confidence value for each read in the ensemble of sequencing reads and modifying at least some model-predicted values using a first bias for forward strands and a second bias for reverse strands.

    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for line volume calibration, and measurement of fluid samples delivered to an interrogation point. In various embodiments, a known fluid volume comprising a sample line fluid and a secondary fluid is delivered to a fluid boundary sensor. The fluid boundary sensor assists in determining the position of the boundaries between the various fluids, and the positions of these boundaries are used to determine the sample line fluid volume.

    Abstract: A check valve assembly includes a first port fitting and a second port fitting with a base secured therebetween. The base has an annular sleeve encircling a seat, the seat having a central mounting hole and one or more flow channels passing therethrough. An umbrella valve includes a flexible sealing disk having an outer surface and an opposing inner surface, a mounting stem extending from the inner surface and projecting into the mounting hole of the base, the sealing disk being movable between a first position wherein at least a portion of the sealing disk sits on the seat so as to cover the one or more flow channels and a second position wherein the sealing disk is resiliently flexed so as to at least partially uncover the one or more flow channels. A retention plate is disposed between first port fitting and the seat of the base so that the retention plate sits against the outer surface of the sealing disk.
