  • Intermittent detection during analytical reactions
    Patent number: 8628940
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for performing intermittent detection during analytical reactions are provided. Such methods facilitate collection of reaction data from disparate reaction times. Further, such methods are useful for reducing photo-induced damage of one or more reactants in an illuminated analytical reaction at a given reaction time. In preferred embodiments, the reaction mixture is subjected to at least one illuminated and non-illuminated period and allowed to proceed such that the time in which the reaction mixture is illuminated is less than a photo-induced damage threshold period.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2014
    Assignee: Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc.
    Inventors: Jon Sorenson, Ali Bashir, Fred Christians, Stephen Turner, Eric C. Olivares, Jason Underwood
