Patent number: 11951477Abstract: An example method includes connecting a flow cell to an instrument. The flow cell includes a flow channel including a manifold section having a manifold section swept volume and a detection section having a detection section swept volume. A ratio of the detection section swept volume to manifold section swept volume is at least 10 to 1. A first reagent is pumped through the flow channel. A first chemical reaction is performed between the first reagent and analytes positioned in the detection section. A subsequent reagent is pumped through the flow channel to flush out the remaining reagent. A concentration of at least 99.95 percent of reagent positioned in the detection section is the subsequent reagent, after pumping a total volume of the subsequent reagent through the flow channel that is equal to or less than 2.5 times a total swept volume of the manifold section plus the detection section.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Illumina, Inc.Inventors: Sz-Chin Lin, Jay Taylor, Minsoung Rhee, Jennifer Foley, Wesley Cox-Muranami, Cyril Delattre, Tarun Khurana, Paul Crivelli
