摘要: Apparatus and methods for producing ultrashort optical pulses are described. A high-power, solid-state, passively mode-locked laser can be manufactured in a compact module that can be incorporated into a portable instrument for biological or chemical analyses. The pulsed laser may produce sub-100-ps optical pulses at a repetition rate commensurate with electronic data-acquisition rates. The optical pulses may excite samples in reaction chambers of the instrument, and be used to generate a reference clock for operating signal-acquisition and signal-processing electronics of the instrument.

摘要: Apparatus and methods for analyzing single molecule and performing nucleic acid sequencing. An integrated device includes multiple pixels with sample wells configured to receive a sample, which, when excited, emits radiation; at least one element for directing the emission radiation in a particular direction; and a light path along which the emission radiation travels from the sample well toward a sensor. The apparatus also includes an instrument that interfaces with the integrated device. Each sensor may detect emission radiation from a sample in a respective sample well. The instrument includes an excitation light source for exciting the sample in each sample well.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods of determining molecular barcode content based on binding interactions between a barcode recognition molecule and a molecular barcode. In some aspects, the disclosure relates to methods comprising contacting a molecular barcode with a barcode recognition molecule that binds to one or more sites on the molecular barcode, detecting a series of signal pulses, and determining the barcode content based on a barcode-specific pattern in the series of signal pulses.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for increasing the number of samples that can be processed in parallel by an integrated device An integrated device is provided having at least two reaction chambers disposed above an active photodetection area of a single pixel, such that the pixel is sensitive to photons from each of the at least two reaction chambers. In some embodiments, an integrated device may have at least four or more reaction chambers per photodetector. Signals from multiple reaction chambers may be distinguished using any combination of multiplexing techniques including techniques for waveguide multiplexing, intensity multiplexing, and/or lifetime multiplexing. According to further aspects of the technology described herein, there is provided techniques for increasing the amount of sample that can be processed by a single device by reloading an integrated device repeated times to process an increased number of samples by a single device.

摘要: System and methods for analyzing single molecules and performing nucleic acid sequencing. An integrated device includes multiple pixels with sample wells configured to receive a sample, which when excited, emits radiation. The integrated device includes at least one waveguide configured to propagate excitation energy to the sample wells from a region of the integrated device configured to couple with an excitation energy source. A pixel may also include at least one element for directing the emission energy towards a sensor within the pixel. The system also includes an instrument that interfaces with the integrated device. The instrument may include an excitation energy source for providing excitation energy to the integrated device by coupling to an excitation energy coupling region of the integrated device. One of multiple markers distinguishable by temporal parameters of the emission energy may label the sample and configuration of the sensor within a pixel may allow for detection of a temporal parameter associated with the marker labeling the sample.
