  • Patent number: 12629683
    Abstract: This application provides a bead with a covalently attached chemical compound and a covalently attached DNA barcode and methods for using such beads. The bead has many substantially identical copies of the chemical compound and many substantially identical copies of the DNA barcode. The compound consists of one or more chemical monomers, where the DNA barcode takes the form of barcode modules, where each module corresponds to and allows identification of a corresponding chemical monomer. The nucleic acid barcode can have a concatenated structure or an orthogonal structure. Provided are method for sequencing the bead-bound nucleic acid barcode, for cleaving the compound from the bead, and for assessing biological activity of the released compound.

  • Patent number: 12508586
    Abstract: A method for fluid transport includes receiving fluid at an inlet port of an inlet. The fluid is outputted through an opening of the inlet into a channel. A first ratio of a first distance to a second distance is substantially equal to a cubic root of a second ratio between a first length dimension and a second length dimension of the inlet, the first distance being measured from an entrance of the inlet port to a first position within the inlet, the second distance being measured from the entrance of the inlet port to a second position within the inlet, the first length dimension and the second length dimension each being measured along a direction orthogonal to a measurement direction along the first distance and the second distance, the first length dimension and the second length dimension being measured at the first position and the second position, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11642675
    Abstract: A microfluidic system for fluid transport is provided. The microfluidic system includes a microfluidic device. The microfluidic device includes an inlet body including an inlet. The microfluidic device includes a base supporting the inlet body. The base includes a channel in fluid communication with the inlet. The base includes one or more sensors formed on a surface of the channel, or one or more sensors formed in one or more wells formed in the surface of the channel. The channel is configured to facilitate flow of the fluid. The fluid includes a plurality of beads. The fluid includes a plurality of suspended cells. The inlet is configured to receive the fluid at an inlet port. The inlet is configured to output the fluid through an opening in fluid communication with the channel. The inlet is configured to provide substantially uniform flow of the fluid across a substantial portion of a horizontal dimension of the channel. The device is configured to compensate for edge effects otherwise present therein.
