Publication number: 20220380844Abstract: In one example, a method of preparing a fluidic channel includes covalently coupling a first region of a substrate to a first region of a cover using first moieties covalently coupled to the first region of the substrate and second moieties covalently coupled to the first region of the cover. The covalent coupling between the first region of the substrate and the first region of the cover suspends a second region of the cover over a second region of the substrate to form a fluidic channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Applicants: ILLUMINA, INC., ILLUMINA CAMBRIDGE LIMITEDInventors: Steven Modiano, Silke Musa, Lewis Kraft, Randall Smith, Sara Bakhshi, Brian Mather, Wayne George, Maxwell Zimmerley

Publication number: 20220186307Abstract: An image sensor structure includes an image layer having an array of light detectors disposed therein. A device stack is disposed over the image layer. An array of light guides is disposed in the device stack. Each light guide is associated with a light detector. An array of nanowells is disposed over the device stack. Each nanowell is associated with a first light guide of the array of light guides. A first primer set is disposed throughout a first well region of each nanowell. A second primer set is disposed throughout a second well region of each nanowell. The second well region is adjacent the first well region. The first and second primer sets are operable to attach a forward strand cluster of forward polynucleotide strands in the first well region and a reverse strand cluster of reverse polynucleotide strands in the second well region.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: June 16, 2022Applicants: Illumina, Inc., Illumina Cambridge LimitedInventors: Lewis KRAFT, Craig Lee HETHERINGTON, Craig M.

Patent number: 7902121Abstract: T cells are profiled with respect to their expression of antigen receptor. The cells are arrayed on a planar or three-dimensional substrate through binding to immobilized or partially diffused MHC-antigen complexes. The cells may further be characterized with respect to their ability to respond to external stimulus in the microenvironment. External stimuli include cell-cell interactions, response to factors, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2004Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Daniel Shin-Yu Chen, Yoav Soen, Daniel Lewis Kraft, Patrick O.
