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.

1-66. (canceled)
An apparatus, comprising:
- a liquid reservoir comprising:
- 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;
- and
- a fluidic port fluidly coupled to the sipper fluidic path,
- wherein a fluidic interface is to couple with the fluidic port to enable fluid to flow out of the sipper fluidic path.
The apparatus of 67, wherein the cover comprises a laminate.
The apparatus of 67, wherein a horizontal channel within the body fluidly couples the sipper fluidic path and the fluidic port.
75-80. (canceled)
An apparatus, comprising;
- a reagent reservoir having a body defining a storage chamber, a sipper fluidic path, and a fluidic sinus fluidly coupling the storage chamber and the sipper fluidic path, the body defines a second storage chamber, a second sipper fluidic path, and a second fluidic sinus fluidly coupling the second storage chamber and the second sipper fluidic path;
- a fluidic port fluidly coupled to the sipper fluidic path;
- and
- a lid,
- wherein a top surface of the body defines a flow path fluidly coupling the sipper fluidic path and the fluidic port,
- wherein the lid is sealed around the sipper fluidic path, the flow path, and the second storage chamber,
- wherein the reagent reservoir has a pneumatic port coupled to the lid and a pneumatic manifold fluidly coupling the pneumatic port and the storage chamber and the second storage chamber.
