    摘要: A technique is disclosed for performing sequencing of polymers such as DNA and RNA. A sample containing multiple sites to be sequenced is cyclically subjected to attachment of nucleotides, and imaging. A digital mask corresponding to sites of interest in the sample array is generated and image data for the sites is processed differently from image data not corresponding to sites of interest. The latter may be discarded during the sequencing operation. The use of the mask improves computational efficiency and reduces memory allocated for the image data during sequencing.

    摘要: A technique for sequencing nucleic acids in an automated or semi-automated manner is disclosed. Sample arrays of a multitude of nucleic acid sites are processed in multiple cycles to add nucleotides to the material to be sequenced, detect the nucleotides added to sites, and to de-block the added nucleotides of blocking agents and tags used to identify the last added nucleotide. Multiple parameters of the system are monitored to enable diagnosis and correction of problems as they occur during sequencing of the samples. Quality control routines are run during sequencing to determine quality of samples, and quality of the data collected.

    摘要: A sample substrate for use in a fluorescence imaging system includes a rigid base with a specularly reflective surface, typically metal, on which is deposited a transparent coating layer. The coating layer has a thickness selected so that a particular fluorescence excitation wavelength, corresponding to a specified fluorescent constituent to be sought in sample material, has an optical path from the top of the coating layer to the reflecting surface in the base of substantially an odd multiple of one-quarter wavelength, so that the standing wave of the fluorescence excitation wavelength of light incident on the substrate has an antinode located at or near where sample material would be disposed on top of the coating layer. This maximizes fluorescence excitation of the sample on the reflective substrate. The transparent coating layer may be a dielectric material (e.g. silica) or may be a multilayer structure with a top layer of biologically active material for binding a specified sample constituent.
