Abstract: Automated methods conducted in a sequencing flowcell, and kits for reusing a flowcell, are provided herein. In some examples, an automated method conducted in a sequencing flowcell may include, at a surface of the sequencing flowcell coupled to a first moiety, using a reagent to decouple a first complex from the first moiety. In some examples, the first complex may include a second moiety which couples to the first moiety and a polynucleotide coupled to the second moiety. In some examples, the method may further include using a nuclease to polynucleotides in the sequencing flowcell. The method may include, after using the reagent and after using the nuclease, coupling a second complex to the first moiety. The second complex may include a third moiety which couples with the first moiety and an oligonucleotide coupled to the third moiety.

Abstract: An example method includes reacting a first solution and a different, second solution on a flow cell by flowing the first solution over amplification sites on the flow cell and subsequently flowing the second solution over the amplification sites. The first solution includes target nucleic acids and a first reagent mixture that comprises nucleoside triphosphates and replication enzymes. The target nucleic acids in the first solution transport to and bind to the amplification sites at a transport rate. The first reagent mixture amplifies the target nucleic acids that are bound to the amplification sites to produce clonal populations of amplicons originating from corresponding target nucleic acids. The amplicons are produced at an amplification rate that exceeds the transport rate. The second solution includes a second reagent mixture and lacks the target nucleic acids. The second solution is to increase a number of the amplicons at the amplification sites.

Abstract: A method for seeding and amplifying target nucleic acids derived from a sample in a cluster at a site on a surface of a substrate includes retaining at least a portion of the target nucleic acids in an inactive form that cannot seed to provide a relatively low concentration of active form target nucleic acids available for seeding. As the active form target nucleic acids seed on the surface of the substrate, they may be amplified. Because the concentration of active form target nucleic acids is low, the likelihood is low that a second active form target nucleic acid will seed at the same site within the same cluster before the first active form target nucleic acid is sufficiently amplified to dominate. Accordingly, the likelihood that the cluster will pass filters is increased relative to traditional seeding and amplification methods employing a higher concentration of active form target nucleic acids.
