  • Sequencing systems and methods utilizing curved imaging paths on rotating substrates
    Patent number: 12753434
    Abstract: A nucleic acid sequencing system may include a substrate coupled to a rotating disk. The substrate may include a plurality of nucleic acid samples. A detection system, including for example an objective and a camera, may detect sequencing events on the substrate while the substrate is rotated relative to the detection system around a rotational axis of the substrate, perpendicular to a surface of the substrate, by the actuation system.
    Type: Grant

  • SEQUENCING SYSTEMS AND METHODS UTILIZING THREE- DIMENSIONAL SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20250033055
    Abstract: A nucleic acid sequencing system may include a substrate including a three-dimensionally patterned surface. The three-dimensionally patterned surface may define nanowells each including a derivitized area for binding to nucleic acid template molecules. The nanowells may be 100 nm in diameter with 350 nm center-to-center spacing. The substrate may including reflective layers and plasmonically enhanced layers for increasing fluorescent signals during nucleic acid sequencing.

  • SEQUENCING SYSTEMS AND METHODS UTILIZING NON-PLANAR SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20230381782
    Abstract: A nucleic acid sequencing system may include non-planar substrates coupled to the outer surface of a rotating drum. The substrates may be curved and include a plurality of nucleic acid samples. A detection system, including for example an objective and a camera, may detect sequencing events on the non-planar substrate while the non-planar substrate is rotated relative to the detection system around a longitudinal axis of the drum by the actuation system.
