Abstract: An apparatus and examples of methods for using and manufacturing aspects of an apparatus with a sensor having an active surface. A sensor, a lid, and a flow channel bounded by the lid and a surface of the sensor, and including an illumination source, a heater, and a pump. A method includes fluidically coupling a first flow cell and a second flow cell to a reservoir, moving fluid from the reservoir into a flow channel of the first and second flow cell using respective pumps; and heating fluid in the flow channels of the first and second flow cells using respective heaters. A method includes forming a first sensor and a second sensor on a flexible surface, and folding the flexible surface until the first sensor faces the second sensor.
