    Abstract: Systems and related reagent cartridge queuing methods are disclosed. In accordance with an implementation, an apparatus includes a first reagent cartridge, a second reagent cartridge, and a system. The system includes a sipper manifold assembly having a sipper, a queue to carry the first reagent cartridge and the second reagent cartridge, a cartridge moving assembly, and a cartridge receptacle assembly. The cartridge moving assembly includes a gantry, a carriage actuator, and a carriage. The carriage is coupled to the gantry and the carriage actuator is to move the carriage relative to the gantry. The cartridge receptacle assembly has a cartridge receptacle to receive the first reagent cartridge or the second reagent cartridge. The carriage is to move the first reagent cartridge from the queue and position the first reagent cartridge into the cartridge receptacle.

    Abstract: Linear peristaltic pumps for use with fluidic cartridges. An apparatus includes a reagent cartridge configured to be received within a cartridge receptacle of a system. The reagent cartridge includes a reagent reservoir and a body including a surface that forms depressions. Each depression has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and is fluidly coupled to at least one other depression. The reagent cartridge also includes a deformable material coupled to the surface of the body and includes portions. Each portion covers one of the depressions to define chambers. The portions of the deformable material are movable relative to the depressions between a first position outside of a dimensional envelope of the body and a second position within the dimensional envelope of the body.
