  • Patent number: 10955332
    Abstract: A flow cell package includes first and second surface-modified patterned wafers and a spacer layer. The first surface-modified patterned wafer includes first depressions separated by first interstitial regions, a first functionalized molecule bound to a first silane or silane derivative in at least some of the first depressions, and a first primer grafted to the first functionalized molecule in the at least some of the first depressions. The second surface-modified patterned wafer includes second depressions separated by second interstitial regions, a second functionalized molecule bound to a second silane or silane derivative in at least some of the second depressions, and a second primer grafted to the second functionalized molecule in the at least some of the second depressions. The spacer layer bonds at least some first interstitial regions to at least some second interstitial regions, and at least partially defines respective fluidic chambers of the flow cell package.

  • Publication number: 20190321411
    Abstract: A method for processing placental tissue, including steps of: exposing a placenta tissue sample in a weak acid environment to obtain a first placenta tissue semi-finished product; performing a flushing procedure for the first placenta tissue semi-finished product to obtain a second placenta tissue semi-finished product, wherein the flushing procedure includes a first flushing procedure using a neutral buffer, a disinfection procedure using a mixture of the neutral buffer and at least one antibiotic, and a second flushing procedure using the neutral buffer to remove the at least one antibiotic; and making the second placenta tissue semi-finished product dehydrated or frozen in extremely low temperatures to obtain a final placenta tissue product.

  • Patent number: 10280454
    Abstract: A microarray is designed capture one or more molecules of interest at each of a plurality of sites on a substrate. The sites comprise base pads, such as polymer base pads, that promote the attachment of the molecules at the sites. The microarray may be made by one or more patterning techniques to create a layout of base pads in a desired pattern. Further, the microarrays may include features to encourage clonality at the sites.
