    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to very large scale FET arrays for analyte measurements. ChemFET (e.g., ISFET) arrays may be fabricated using conventional CMOS processing techniques based on improved FET pixel and array designs that increase measurement sensitivity and accuracy, and at the same time facilitate significantly small pixel sizes and dense arrays. Improved array control techniques provide for rapid data acquisition from large and dense arrays. Such arrays may be employed to detect a presence and/or concentration changes of various analyte types in a wide variety of chemical and/or biological processes. In one example, chemFET arrays facilitate DNA sequencing techniques based on monitoring changes in hydrogen ion concentration (pH), changes in other analyte concentration, and/or binding events associated with chemical processes relating to DNA synthesis.

    Abstract: A method for sequencing a polynucleotide sample having a barcode sequence includes: introducing a series of nucleotides to the polynucleotide sample according to a predetermined order of nucleotide flows; obtaining a series of signals resulting from the introducing of nucleotides to the polynucleotide sample; and resolving the series of signals over the barcode sequence to render a flowspace string, wherein the flowspace string is a codeword of an error-correcting code that is (i) designed based on and adapted for use with the predetermined order of nucleotide flows, and (ii) capable of distinguishing any codeword in the error-correcting code from the other codewords in the error-correcting code in the presence of zero, one, and two errors.
