Abstract:

An apparatus includes a flow cell interface adapted to be coupled to a flow cell having a plurality of channels and a pump manifold assembly carrying pump valves and pumps and including pump-channel fluidic lines, pump fluidic lines, and a shared fluidic line. The pump valves and the pumps are operable to individually control fluid flow through each channel of the plurality of channels of the flow cell via the corresponding pump-channel fluidic lines. Each pump valve being coupled to a corresponding pump-channel fluidic line, a corresponding pump fluidic line, and the shared fluidic line and being movable between a first position fluidically coupling a corresponding channel, a corresponding pump-channel fluidic line, and a corresponding pump fluidic line and a second position fluidically coupling a corresponding pump fluidic line, the shared fluidic line, and a waste reservoir. Each pump coupled to a corresponding pump fluidic line.
