PUMP MANIFOLD SYSTEMS AND RELATED COMPONENTS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B01L3/00 

FIELD: manifolds; pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to manifolds and pumps for sequencing platforms and/or arrays. A device for controlling pumps and valves for sequencing platforms, comprising: a flow cell interface configured to connect to a flow cell having a plurality of channels; a pump manifold assembly housing a plurality of pump valves and a plurality of pumps and comprising a plurality of fluid lines for the pump channels, a plurality of pump fluid lines and a common fluid line, where the pump valves and pumps are configured to control each fluid flow through each channel of a plurality of flow cell channels separately via respective pump channel fluid lines, wherein each pump valve is connected to a corresponding pump channel fluid line, a corresponding pump channel fluid line and a common fluid line. The device is movable between the first position for fluid connection of a corresponding channel of the plurality of channels, a corresponding fluid line for the pump channels and a corresponding pump fluid line, and the second position for fluid connection of a corresponding pump fluid line, a common fluid line and a waste fluid reservoir. Each pump is connected to a corresponding pump fluid line.

EFFECT: reduction in the amount of reagent used during operations, a reduction in the cycle time of operations, and a decrease in the likelihood of contamination of analytes and/or contamination between reagents.
