FLOW CELLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18667993 titled 'FLOW CELLS

The abstract of the patent application describes a flow cell that includes a substrate with two sets of primers attached to different regions. One set includes an un-cleavable first primer and a cleavable second primer, while the other set includes a cleavable first primer and an un-cleavable second primer.

  • The flow cell design includes two sets of primers with different cleavability properties.
  • The first primer set consists of an un-cleavable first primer and a cleavable second primer.
  • The second primer set comprises a cleavable first primer and an un-cleavable second primer.
  • This design allows for controlled cleavage of primers during the flow cell process.
  • The flow cell configuration enhances the efficiency and accuracy of sequencing reactions.

Potential Applications:

  • Next-generation sequencing technologies
