Application: Flow cell based motion system calibration and control methods (Patent ID: US20240100518A1)
The patent filed by Illumina Inc. describes techniques for providing motion feedback in an imaging system, specifically focusing on achieving nanoscale control and calibration without the need for a high-resolution encoder subsystem. The system involves using nanoscale features on a sample holder surface to ascertain or calibrate linear motion, such as sample sites or lithographically patterned features. The patent also discusses a patterned flow cell design with sample sites arranged in a periodic pattern and sample site-based fiducials to aid in motion feedback.
The patterned flow cell described in the patent includes sample sites arranged in a hexagonal or rectilinear pattern, with sample site-based fiducials forming linear arrangements in a scanning direction. These fiducials consist of sample sites and blank regions, with brightness plotted against position along the scan direction forming a sinusoidal waveform. The fiducials may include alternating sample sites and blank regions within a column of pixels, with variations in geometric parameters like diameter or depth. Additionally, the patent outlines a sequencing instrument incorporating a sample stage, objective lens, photodetector, and light source to image the flow cell, with a controller adjusting the sample stage location or speed based on comparisons between current and expected feature patterns derived from the fiducials.
