  • Systems and Methods to Control Dissolved Gas
    Publication number: 20150252406
    Abstract: A method of sensing nucleotide reactions includes flowing at least one nucleotide solution from a container of at least two containers of a sensor system. The sensor system includes a sensor sensitive to a byproduct of nucleotide incorporation. Each container of the at least two containers includes a different nucleotide solution. The sensor system enters an idle mode after flowing. The method further includes cycling the at least two containers through at least two cycles. Each cycle includes depressurizing the at least two containers for a first period and pressurizing the at least two containers for a second period. The method also includes pressurizing the at least two containers when the sensor system enters an active mode.
    Type: Application
