    Abstract: An microreactor array is provided that includes a plurality of microreactors in a substrate. The plurality of microreactors is in fluid communication with a common fluid delivery channel. Each of the microreactors includes an electrode configured to generate one or more gaseous bubbles that can block reagent access to selected microreactors. A method for selective reactions in a microreactor array is also provide.

    Abstract: Systems for sequencing biopolymers and methods of manufacturing the systems are disclosed. In one example, such a system may include an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) layer, a post array layer beneath the AISC layer, and a nanopore layer above the ASIC layer. The ASIC layer is formed by building active circuitry on a front side of a semiconductor wafer and polishing a back side of the semiconductor wafer. The post array layer is formed by etching a front side of a support substrate and the post array layer provides mechanical support to the ASIC layer. The nanopore layer contains membrane and nanopores. The membrane inhibits passage of water-soluble molecules and the nanopores permit passage of water-soluble molecules. In some embodiments, the system may have short through-substrate vias extending through the ASIC layer. In some embodiments, wafer bonding processes may be used when fabricating the system.
