    Abstract: In one implementation, a method for operating an apparatus is described. The method includes applying a bias voltage to place a transistor of a reference sensor in a known state. The reference sensor is in an array of sensors that further includes a chemical sensor coupled to a reaction region for receiving at least one reactant. The method further includes acquiring an output signal from the reference sensor in response to the applied bias voltage. The method further includes determining a defect associated with the array if the output signal does not correspond to the known state.

    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system are provided to calibrate a sensor array with a plurality of sensors. The method can include sweeping a voltage of a reference electrode from a first voltage to a second voltage, where the reference electrode is in fluid communication with the sensor array. The output voltage of each of the plurality of sensors can be monitored at one or more voltages within the first and second voltages. An overall average gain of the plurality of sensors can be calculated at each of the one or more voltages. Further, an acquisition window for the sensor array can be determined. The acquisition window can include a maximum distribution of sensors that provides a maximal overall average gain at a particular reference electrode voltage.

    Abstract: A method for sequencing a target polynucleotide includes detecting a first series of nucleotide incorporations complementary to at least a portion of the target polynucleotide. The first series of nucleotide incorporations forms a first complementary polynucleotide. The target nucleotide is secured to a substrate disposed in a sequencing zone of an assembly. The method further includes moving the substrate to which the target nucleotide is secured to a templating zone of the assembly; removing the first complementary polynucleotide when the substrate is disposed at the templating zone of the assembly, the target polynucleotide remaining secured to the substrate; following the removing, moving the substrate to which the target polynucleotide is secured to the sequencing zone; and detecting a second series of nucleotide incorporations complementary to at least a portion of the target polynucleotide, the second series of nucleotide incorporations forming a second complementary polynucleotide.

    Abstract: A method is provided to sample a sensor array. The method can include measuring a waveform associated with a chemical event occurring on the sensor array. The waveform can include at least one region associated with expected measured values and at least one region associated with unpredictable measured values. The method can also include applying a first frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the expected measured values. Here, a first number of frames can be included in the first frame averaging. Further, the method can include applying a second frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the unpredictable measured values, where a second number of frames can be included in the second frame averaging. The second number of frames can be less than the first number of frames.
