Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In an example of the method, a functionalized coating layer is applied in depressions of a patterned flow cell substrate. The depressions are separated by interstitial regions. A primer is grafted to the functionalized coating layer to form a grafted functionalized coating layer in the depressions. A hydrogel is applied on at least the grafted functionalized coating layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A flow cell, comprising: a patterned substrate including depressions separated by interstitial regions and including a bonding region; sequencing surface chemistry attached to each of the depressions, the sequencing surface chemistry including: a functionalized coating layer; and a primer grafted to the functional coating layer; a non-grafted hydrogel on at least the sequencing surface chemistry, the non-grafted hydrogel selected from the group consisting of crosslinked polyacrylamide, an agarose gel, and crosslinked polyethylene glycol; a lid attached to the patterned substrate at the bonding region; and a flow channel defined between the patterned substrate and the lid. 2. The flow cell as defined in claim 1 , wherein the non-grafted hydrogel is also on at least some of the interstitial regions. 3. The flow cell as defined in claim 1 , wherein the functionalized coating layer is poly(N-(5-azidoacetamidylpentyl)acrylamide-co-acrylamide). 4. The flow cell as defined in claim 1 , further comprising a spacer layer bonding the lid to the bonding region. 5. The flow cell as defined in claim 1 , wherein the non-grafted hydrogel is the crosslinked polyethylene glycol, and wherein the crosslinked polyethylene glycol includes a polyethylene glycol macromer crosslinked with a reactive chain end selected from the group consisting of acrylate, methacrylate, allyl ether, maleimide, vinyl sulfone, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, and vinyl ether.
