Application: Flow cells (Patent ID: US20240207839A1)
The patent filed by Illumina Inc. describes a flow cell design that includes a substrate with multiple reactive regions separated across it. Each reactive region consists of a polymeric hydrogel layer with a reactive entity attached to it. Additionally, the flow cell features independently removable coatings over each reactive region, with at least one coating being a composite containing a thermo-responsive polymer and a photo-thermal additive. The design allows for selective removal of coatings to expose reactive regions and initiate reactions involving the reactive entities.
Furthermore, the patent outlines a method for selectively removing coatings from the flow cell to expose reactive regions and their associated entities. This involves using light to render the coatings susceptible to removal with an aqueous solvent. The method also includes details on the positioning of reactive regions within depressions or protrusions on the substrate. The thermo-responsive polymer and photo-thermal filler used in the composite coatings are specified, along with variations in primer sets across different reactive regions. Overall, the patent presents an innovative flow cell design and method for controlled reactions within the cell.
