Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, devices, and systems for fluidic handling. In some embodiments, a gasket for providing a fluidic interface with a flowcell includes an inner cavity extending distally from a proximal end of the gasket, the inner cavity being defined by a plurality of inner surfaces sections, an inlet port positioned at a distal end of the inner cavity, an outlet port positioned at a distal end of the gasket, and a cannula extending between the inlet port and the outlet port; wherein at least some of the plurality of inner surface sections are tapered towards the distal end of the gasket to direct a pipette tip received within the gasket towards the inlet port of the gasket.

A gasket for providing a fluidic interface with a flowcell, the gasket comprising:
- a proximal end;
- a distal end configured to be received within the flowcell;
- an inner cavity extending distally from the proximal end, the inner cavity being defined by a plurality of inner surface sections;
- an inlet port positioned at a distal end of the inner cavity;
- an outlet port positioned at the distal end of the gasket;
- and
- a cannula extending between the inlet port and the outlet port;
- wherein at least some of the plurality of inner surface sections are tapered towards the distal end of the gasket to direct a pipette tip received within the gasket towards the inlet port of the gasket.
