Abstract:
A polymer substrate, such as a polymer particle, is formed from a carboxyl functional monomer. In an example, the carboxyl functional monomer has a protection group in place of the OH of the carboxyl group. Once the monomer is polymerized, such a protection group can be removed, providing a polymer network with carboxyl functional sites. Such sites can be used to attach other functionality to the polymer substrate.
Abstract:
A method of conjugating a substrate includes exchanging a counter ion associated with a biomolecule with a lipophilic counter ion to form a biomolecule complex, dispersing the biomolecule complex in a nonaqueous solvent, and coupling the biomolecule complex to a substrate in the presence of the nonaqueous solvent.

Abstract:
A method of loading beads on a sensor substrate includes applying a suspension including beads to a flow cell defined over a sensor substrate. The sensor substrate includes a plurality of wells. The beads at least partially deposit into the plurality of wells. The method also includes removing liquid from the flow cell, evaporating liquid from the flow cell, for example, by drawing air through the flow cell; and applying a hydrating solution to the flow cell.

Abstract:
A hydrogel network includes a hydrogel polymer having a coupling site, an oligonucleotide conjugated at a terminal end to the hydrogel polymer at the coupling site, and a functional moiety coupled between the terminal end of the oligonucleotide and the coupling site. Such a hydrogel network can be formed by a method including activating a coupling site of a substrate and binding a linker moiety coupled to a terminal end of an oligonucleotide to the activated coupling site, a functional moiety coupled between the terminal end of the oligonucleotide and the linker moiety.
