Abstract
Reagent reservoirs and related systems and methods are disclosed. In accordance with a first implementation, an apparatus includes a system and a reagent reservoir. The system includes a reagent reservoir receptacle. The reagent reservoir is received within the reagent reservoir receptacle and has a body and a fluidic port. The body defines a storage chamber, a sipper chamber, and a fluidic sinus fluidly coupling the storage chamber and the sipper chamber. The fluidic port is fluidly coupled to the sipper chamber.
Claims8
An apparatus comprising:
- a system, comprising:
- a pneumatic interface;
- and
- a receptacle;
- a liquid reservoir receivable within the receptacle and having:
- a body comprising a top surface comprising a fluidic opening, a storage chamber having an opening at the top surface, a fluidic sinus, and a side of the body defining an outward-facing groove, the fluidic opening fluidly coupled to the groove, and the fluidic sinus fluidly coupling the storage chamber and the groove,
- a cover secured to the side of the body, the groove and the cover defining a sipper fluidic path, the fluidic sinus is positioned adjacent a bottom surface of the storage chamber, the fluidic sinus fluidly couples the storage chamber and the sipper fluidic path;
- a lid assembly coupled to the top surface and having a first portion covering the opening of the storage chamber and a second portion covering the fluidic opening, the top surface and the first portion defining a plenum,
- the first portion comprising a pneumatic port fluidly coupled to the plenum;
- and
- the second portion comprising a fluidic port fluidly coupled to the fluidic opening, the sipper fluidic path extending from the fluidic sinus, along the side, and toward the fluidic opening;
- and
- a cartridge assembly, comprising:
- a fluidic interface removably couplable to the fluidic port;
- a well;
- and
- a channel fluidly coupled between the fluidic interface and the well.
