Publication number: 20230063675Abstract: An example of a sequencing kit includes a flow cell and an encapsulation matrix precursor composition. The flow cell includes a plurality of chambers and primers attached within each of the plurality of chambers. The encapsulation matrix precursor composition consists of a fluid and a polymer selected from the group consisting of agar, agarose, alginate, heparin, alginate sulfate, dextran sulfate, hyaluronan, pectin, carrageenan, gelatin, chitosan, cellulose, a collagen polymer, and combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Xi-Jun Chen, Yir-Shyuan Wu, Tarun Kumar Khurana, Liangliang Qiang, Andrew J. Price, Elisabet Rosas

Patent number: 11535890Abstract: An example of a sequencing kit includes a flow cell, an encapsulation matrix precursor composition, and a radical initiator. The flow cell includes a plurality of chambers and primers attached within each of the plurality of chambers. The encapsulation matrix precursor composition consists of a fluid, a monomer or polymer including a radical generating and chain elongating functional group, a radical source, and a crosslinker. The radical initiator is part of the encapsulation matrix precursor composition or is a separate component.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Illumina, Inc.Inventors: Xi-Jun Chen, Yir-Shyuan Wu, Tarun Kumar Khurana, Liangliang Qiang, Andrew J. Price, Elisabet Rosas

Patent number: 8456086Abstract: An embodiment of the invention IS an array of microcavity plasma devices The array includes a first metal film electrode with a plurality of non-uniform cross-section microcavities therein that are encapsulated in oxide A second electrode is a thin metal foil encapsulated in oxide that is bonded to the first electrode A packaging layer contains gas or vapor in the non-uniform cross-section microcavities To make such device, photoresist is patterned to encapsulate the anodized foil or film except on a top surface at desired positions of microcavities A second anodization or electrochemical etching is conducted to form the non-uniform cross-section sidewall microcavities cavities After removing photoresist and metal oxide, a final anodization lines the walls of the microcavities with metal oxide and fully encapsulates the metal electrodes with metal oxide.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2008Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: J. Gary Eden, Sung-Jin Park, Kwang Soo, Andrew J. Price

Patent number: 8362699Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide for large arrays of microcavity plasma devices that can be made inexpensively, and can produce large area but thin displays or lighting sources Interwoven metal wire mesh, such as interwoven Al mesh, consists of two sets of wires which are interwoven in such a way that the two wire sets cross each other, typically at ?ght angles (90 degrees) although other patterns are also available Fabrication is accomplished with a simple and inexpensive wet chemical etching process The wires in each set are spaced from one another such that the finished mesh forms an array of openings that can be, for example, square, rectangular or diamond-shaped The size of the openings or microcavities is a function of the diameter of the wires in the mesh and the spacing between the wires in the mesh used to form the array of microcavity plasma devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2008Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: J.
