Abstract

See full text

Detection apparatus includes a microfluorometer having an objective, an excitation radiation source, and a detector. The detection apparatus also includes a fluidic system for delivering reagents from a reagent cartridge to a flow cell. The fluidic system includes a manifold body having a plurality of fluidic channels configured for fluid communication between the reagent cartridge and the flow cell. The fluidic system also includes a plurality of reagent sippers. The fluidic system also includes a valve configured to mediate fluid between reagent reservoirs and the flow cell. The detection apparatus also includes a flow cell latch clamp module having a clamp cover for holding the flow cell. The objective is configured to direct excitation radiation from the radiation source to the flow cell and to direct emission from the flow cell to the detector. The microfluorometer is movable to acquire wide-field images of different areas of the flow cell.
