摘要:
An embodiment of a method for adaptive reagent control is described that comprising a) introducing a first concentration of an enzyme reagent into a reaction environment with a reaction substrate, where the enzyme reagent and reaction substrate are constituent parts of a sequencing process; b) measuring a level of activity of the first concentration of the enzyme reagent in the reaction environment, where the level of activity comprises a measurable product of a reaction between the enzyme reagent and the reaction substrate; c) identifying an optimal concentration using the measured level of activity of the first concentration; and d) performing the sequencing process in the reaction environment using the optimal concentration of the enzyme reagent, where the sequencing process comprises an iterative series of sequencing reactions.
摘要:
A first conduit having a cylindrical upper entrance region with the axis of the cylindrical region oriented vertically, which accepts incoming downwardly flowing hot drain water, a central region of said first conduit below the said entrance region having a conical shape of increasing diameter, reaching a maximum diameter 2-7 times larger than the upper region, the shape then transitioning to a decreasing diameter area of a conical shape, the shape transitioning to a cylindrical lower region with a diameter similar to the upper region diameter; a second conduit for the flow of the shower cold water supply, with a diameter 10-40 times smaller than the maximum diameter of the drain water conduit, and a length 10-40 times longer than the vertical length of the drain water conduit, the second conduit tightly wrapped around the first conduit and in close thermal contact with the first conduit.

摘要:
An automatic nucleic acid extraction cartridge and an automatic nucleic acid extraction system including the same are described herein. The cartridge having a housing that includes a sample port, a cell processing chamber, a wash fluid chamber, a filter assembly comprising a filter member, and a diverter valve having a first and a second reversibly sealable output, wherein each of the sample port and the cell processing chamber, the cell processing chamber and the filter assembly, and the wash fluid chamber and the filter assembly are in one-way fluid communication, and the filter assembly is in fluid communication with the diverter valve and (i) a waste conduit when the diverter valve is biased to the first reversibly sealable output and (ii) a pathogen nucleic acid conduit when the diverter valve is biased to the second reversibly sealable output. The present disclosure further describes methods of using the same.
