Abstract
A nanopore based sequencing system includes a plurality of nanopore sensors. Each nanopore sensor has a portion for receiving a fluid. The nanopore based sequencing system includes a fluid chamber configured to guide the fluid over the plurality of nanopore sensors and an inlet configured to deliver the fluid into the fluid chamber. At least a portion of the fluid chamber is made of a material that has been molded around at least a portion of an electrode.
Claims16
A nanopore based sequencing system, comprising:
- a plurality of nanopore sensors, each nanopore sensor having a portion for receiving a fluid;
- a fluid chamber configured to guide the fluid over the plurality of nanopore sensors, wherein at least a portion of the fluid chamber is made of a material that has been molded around at least a portion of an electrode, wherein the material that has been molded is configured to create raised dividers on a surface of the electrode configured to guide the fluid along a winding length of the fluid chamber;
- and
- an inlet configured to deliver the fluid into the fluid chamber.
A nanopore based sequencing system, comprising:
- a plurality of nanopore sensors, each nanopore sensor having a portion for receiving a fluid;
- a fluid chamber configured to guide the fluid over the plurality of nanopore sensors, wherein at least a portion of the fluid chamber is made of a material that has been molded around at least a portion of an electrode;
- and
- an inlet configured to deliver the fluid into the fluid chamber, wherein the material that has been molded is compressed to a surface of a chip with the nanopore sensors using a clamping component that is clamped to a circuit board.
