FANOUT FLOW CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009665 titled 'FANOUT FLOW CELL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for forming a flow cell, which involves applying adhesives to a substrate and orienting a die and a package on the adhesive. The package includes a die with an active surface and electrical contact points, and adjacent surfaces on opposing sides of the active surface form fanout regions for the fluidic path of the flow cell. A second adhesive is applied to a part of the package, and a lid is attached to define a fluidic flow-cell cavity.
- The method involves applying adhesives to a substrate and orienting a die and a package on the adhesive.
- The package includes a die with an active surface and electrical contact points.
- Surfaces adjacent to the active surface form fanout regions for the fluidic path of the flow cell.
- A second adhesive is applied to a part of the package.
- A lid is attached to define a fluidic flow-cell cavity.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Biomedical research: Flow cells are commonly used in biomedical research for analyzing and studying biological samples. This technology can be applied in various biomedical research applications, such as DNA sequencing, cell analysis, and drug discovery.
- Environmental monitoring: Flow cells can be used for monitoring water quality, air pollution, and other environmental parameters. This technology can enable the development of more efficient and reliable flow cells for environmental monitoring purposes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enhanced fluidic path: The fanout regions formed by the surfaces adjacent to the active surface provide an improved fluidic path within the flow cell, allowing for better sample flow and analysis.
- Secure attachment: The method of applying adhesives and attaching the lid ensures a secure and leak-proof attachment, preventing any contamination or loss of samples during the analysis process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance: The design of the flow cell with fanout regions and secure attachment ensures better performance in terms of sample analysis, accuracy, and reliability.
- Simplified manufacturing process: The method described in the patent application simplifies the manufacturing process of flow cells by using adhesives and a lid attachment, potentially reducing production costs and increasing efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided herein include various examples of a flow cell and methods for forming aspects of flow cell. the method may include applying a first adhesive to a substrate. the method may include orienting a die on the first adhesive. the method may also include orienting a package on the first adhesive. the package includes a die and a top surface of the die comprises an active surface and electrical contact points. surfaces adjacent to the active surface on at least two opposing sides of the active surface form fanout regions for utilization in a fluidic path of the flow cell. the method further may include applying a second adhesive to a part of the package and attaching a lid to the second adhesive to define a fluidic flow-cell cavity below the lid and above a surface comprising the active surface and the fanout regions.
