Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for preparing polynucleotide samples are disclosed. The invention includes a microfluidic system for converting a sample containing one or more polynucleotides into a form suitable for analyzing the polynucleotides, comprising: a cartridge receiving element, an insertable and removable cartridge, a heating element configured to heat one or more regions of the cartridge, and control circuitry, wherein the insertable cartridge comprises: a microfluidic component that is configured to accept the sample and one or more reagents, and to react the sample and the reagents, in order to produce a prepared sample suitable for analyzing the one or more polynucleotides. The invention further comprises a multi-sample cartridge for converting a number of samples, each containing one or more polynucleotides, into respective forms suitable for analyzing the polynucleotides, comprising: at least a first microfluidic component and a second microfluidic component.
