    Abstract: Implementations of a method for seeding sequence libraries on a surface of a sequencing flow cell that allow for spatial segregation of the libraries on the surface are provided. The spatial segregation can be used to index sequence reads from individual sequencing libraries to increase efficiency of subsequent data analysis. In some examples, hydrogel beads containing encapsulated sequencing libraries are captured on a sequencing flow cell and degraded in the presence of a liquid diffusion barrier to allow for the spatial segregation and seeding of the sequencing libraries on the surface of the flow cell. Additionally, examples of systems, methods and compositions are provided relating to flow cell devices configured for nucleic acid library preparation and single cell sequencing. Some examples include flow cell devices having a hydrogel with genetic material disposed therein, and which is retained within the hydrogel during nucleic acid processing.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments concern microfluidic cartridges for detecting biological reactions. In some embodiments, the microfluidic cartridges are configured to perform sequencing operations on a nucleic acid sample. In one aspect, a microfluidic cartridge includes a stack of fluidics layers defining channels and valves for processing the nucleic acid sample to be sequenced, and a solid state CMOS biosensor integrated in the stack. The biosensor has an active area configured to detect signals of biological reactions, wherein substantially all of the active area is available for reagent delivery and illumination during operation. In another aspect, a microfluidic cartridge includes: (a) a flow cell including a reaction site area encompassing one or more reaction sites; (b) fluidics channels for delivering reactants to and/or removing reactants from the reaction site area; (c) a biosensor having an active area configured to detect signals of biological reactions in the reaction site area. The reaction site area is proximal to the active area of the biosensor and the reaction site area spans substantially all of the active area of the biosensor. In some embodiments, the fluidics channels do not substantially overlap with the active area of the biosensor. Methods for manufacturing and operating the microfluidic cartridges are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A stack of fluidics layers of a microfluidic cartridge for sequencing nucleic acid molecules includes a sequencing chamber layer having a sequencing chamber area configured for carrying out clustering and sequencing reactions, and a sequencing chamber bottom layer disposed under the sequencing chamber layer. The sequencing chamber bottom layer has an opening configured to hold an image sensor with the image sensor having an active area disposed under the sequencing chamber area. The sequencing chamber area spans substantially all of the active area of the image sensor. The stack of fluidics layers includes a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) layer under the sequencing chamber bottom layer, and a fluidics channels layer disposed under the flexible PCB layer. The fluidics channels layer includes fluidics channels that are configured to deliver reactants to the sequencing chamber area. The fluidics channels do not substantially overlap with the active area of the image sensor.
