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 containing a polymeric hydrogel layer and a reactive entity. These regions are covered by independently removable coatings, with at least one being a composite of a thermo-responsive polymer and a photo-thermal additive. The method outlined involves selectively removing these coatings to expose the reactive regions and initiating a reaction involving the reactive entities, with the removal process facilitated by exposure to light and subsequent treatment with an aqueous solvent.
The flow cell design and method detailed in the patent offer a versatile approach for conducting reactions in a controlled and efficient manner. By utilizing a combination of polymeric hydrogel layers, reactive entities, and removable coatings with specific properties, the system allows for precise manipulation and activation of the reactive regions. The use of thermo-responsive polymers and photo-thermal additives in the coatings enhances the controllability of the process, enabling targeted removal of coatings and initiation of reactions as needed. This innovation has implications for various applications requiring spatially separated reactions, such as primer sets in genetic analysis, and provides a systematic and effective way to carry out such processes.
