Abstract
A gene sequencer, bio-compact disk and sample preparation methodology is described. Constant length oligonucleotides are prepared and, in conjunction with the bio-compact disk and apparatus described, used in gene sequencing and strategies therefor.
Claims18
A disk adapted for use in an analytical procedure requiring multiple reaction sites, said disk comprising:
- a disk body having a center portion and a perimeter;
- a plurality of first spiral channels located in said disk body, each of said first spiral channels extending from said center portion toward said perimeter to form a clockwise spiral pattern of channels in said disk body;
- a plurality of second spiral channels located in said disk body, each of said second spiral channels extends from said center portion toward said perimeter to form a counterclockwise spiral pattern of channels in said disk body, said first and second spiral channels intersecting at a plurality of locations to provide a plurality of reaction sites.
A disk adapted for use in an analytical procedure requiring multiple reaction sites, said disk comprising:
- an optical disk having a center portion and a perimeter;
- a plurality of first spiral channels located in said optical disk, each of said first spiral channels extending from said center portion toward said perimeter for form a clockwise spiral pattern of channels in said optical disk;
- a plurality of second spiral channels located in said optical disk, each of said second spiral channels extending from said center portion toward said perimeter to from a counterclockwise spiral pattern of channels in said optical disk, said first and second spiral channels intersecting at a plurality of locations to provide a plurality of reaction sites.
A disk adapted for use in an analytical procedure requiring multiple reaction sites, said disk comprising:
- a digital video disk having a center portion and a perimeter;
- a plurality of first spiral channels located in said digital video disk, each of said first spiral channels extending from said center portion towards said perimeter for form a clockwise spiral pattern of channels in said compact disk;
- a plurality of second spiral channels located in said digital video disk, each of said second spiral channels extending from said center portion toward said perimeter to from a counterclockwise spiral pattern of channels in said digital video disk, said first and second spiral channels intersecting at a plurality of locations to provide a plurality of reaction sites.
