    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: An apparatus including an array of sensors including a plurality of chemical sensors and a plurality of reference sensors, each chemical sensor coupled to a corresponding reaction region for receiving at least one reactant, and each reference sensor comprising a field effect transistor having a gate coupled to a corresponding reference line and an access circuit for accessing the chemical sensors and the reference sensors and a controller to apply bias voltages to the reference lines to select corresponding reference sensors, acquire output signals from the selected reference sensors, and identify one or more defects in the access circuit based on differences between the acquired output signals and expected output signals.

    Abstract: A compression method includes measuring a waveform associated with a chemical event occurring on a sensor array, wherein the waveform comprises at least one region associated with expected measured values and at least one region associated with unpredictable measured values; applying a first compression process to the waveform, the first compression process including an averaging of one or more frames in one or more portions of the waveform; and applying a second compression process to the waveform, the second compression process including a truncating of data corresponding to a portion of the waveform that is not related to a nucleotide incorporation component of the waveform.

    Abstract: A method is provided to sample a sensor array. The method can include measuring a waveform associated with a chemical event occurring on the sensor array. The waveform can include at least one region associated with expected measured values and at least one region associated with unpredictable measured values. The method can also include applying a first frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the expected measured values. Here, a first number of frames can be included in the first frame averaging. Further, the method can include applying a second frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the unpredictable measured values, where a second number of frames can be included in the second frame averaging. The second number of frames can be less than the first number of frames.
