  • Publication number: 20120214246
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring signals having a wide range of intensity components using detectors adapted for use in biological analysis devices. In certain biological analysis applications, signals emitted by a sample may have intensity components that vary over several orders of magnitude. Measurement of such a signal may yield an acceptable quality for one intensity component at the expense of another component. For example, a detector configured to measure a relatively weak intensity component may cause it to overflow when subjected to a relatively strong intensity component. The detector can be adapted to be operated at different configurations to allow measurements of different components of the signal, and the results can be combined to yield an accurate representation of the signal.

  • Publication number: 20120015825
    Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining and processing optical signal data from analytical reactions, and in processing signal data from arrays of sequence-by-incorporation processes to identify nucleotide sequences of template nucleic acids and larger nucleic acid molecules, e.g., genomes or fragments thereof are described. Defining and applying a 2-dimensional software mask allows for obtaining signal data from arrays with higher signal to noise than where the mask is not applied.
