Claim 15:
16. A method comprising:
inserting a cassette containing a microarray with a nucleic acid sample into a receptacle of a plurality of receptacles positioned on a first surface of a flywheel;
rotating the flywheel with a motor;
sensing, with a sensor while the flywheel is rotating, at least one indicator associated with the flywheel, the at least one indicator for indicating an orientation of the flywheel;
receiving, by a processor, a signal from the sensor indicative of detection of the at least one indicator;
identifying, while the flywheel is rotating, a receptacle of the plurality of receptacles with the processor using the received signal;
associating, by the processor, each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles with a corresponding cassette in the receptacle;
capturing, while the flywheel is rotating, test data from the microarray of the cassette with an optics assembly;
providing, by the optics assembly, the test data to the processor;
associating, by the processor, the test data with a cassette based on an identification of the receptacle for the cassette using the received signal from the sensor;
receiving, by a computing device, the test data for a microarray of a cassette from the processor;
analyzing, by the computing device, the test data and providing an output indicative of a comparison of the test data to predefined data; and
sliding the optics assembly along a track, while the flywheel is rotating, to scan the microarray.
