    Abstract: In one implementation, a method is described. The method includes determining an operational characteristic of sensors of a sensor array. The method further includes selecting a group of sensors in the array based on the operational characteristic of sensors in the group. The method further includes enabling readout of the sensors in the selected group. The method further includes receiving output signals from the enabled sensors.

    Abstract: A fluidic interconnect includes a first interface including a liquid port, a gas port, and a cradle; a second interface including a liquid port, a gas port, and a swing bar to engage the cradle, a weight of a container attached to one of the first or second interfaces to drive the liquid port of the first interface into connection with the liquid port of the second interface and the gas port of the first interface into connection with the gas port of the second interface.

    Abstract: Methods for human identification using polymorphisms in the Penta E short tandem repeat locus are significant in preventing allelic drop out. An exemplary method encompasses (a) contacting a first primer to a nucleic acid sample to be analyzed, (b) contacting a second primer to the nucleic acid sample, and (c) subjecting the nucleic acid sample, the first primer, and the second primer to an amplification reaction, and thereby forming an amplification product. The first primer, the second primer, or both the first and second primers can be labeled with a non-nucleic-acid label. Additionally, or alternatively, the amplification product can include an adenosine at position 14 from the 5′ end of SEQ ID NO:1, a thymidine at position 21 from the 5′ end of SEQ ID NO:2, or both an adenine at position 14 and a thymidine at position 21 from the 5′ end of SEQ ID NO:3.

    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are provided to calibrate a sensor array with a plurality of sensors. The method can include sweeping a voltage of a reference electrode from a first voltage to a second voltage, where the reference electrode is in fluid communication with the sensor array. The output voltage of each of the plurality of sensors can be monitored at one or more voltages within the first and second voltages. An overall average gain of the plurality of sensors can be calculated at each of the one or more voltages. Further, an acquisition window for the sensor array can be determined. The acquisition window can include a maximum distribution of sensors that provides a maximal overall average gain at a particular reference electrode voltage.

    Abstract: A method for nucleic acid sequencing may include disposing a plurality of template nucleic acid molecules in a plurality of defined spaces disposed on a sensor array, at least some of the plurality of template nucleic acid molecules having a sequencing primer and a polymerase operably bound therewith; advancing one or more nucleotide species over the plurality of template nucleic acid molecules with the sequencing primer and the polymerase operably bound therewith; measuring a signal generated by nucleotide incorporations resulting from advancing the one or more nucleotide species; and exposing the plurality of template nucleic acid molecules to a cleaving reagent subsequent to the advancing and measuring. The cleaving reagent can remove labeling reagents attached to the one or more nucleotide species. The advancing and measuring steps can be performed for different orders of the one or more nucleotide species prior to a subsequent exposing of the plurality of template nucleic acid molecules to the cleaving reagent.
