Abstract:
Embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure are directed to assessing for the presence of different target sequences in a sample. Embodiments include providing a binary result of the presence or absence of target sequences that is indicative of a disease or other physiological condition. An example method includes exposing a sample to a plurality of probes, the plurality of probes including a plurality of complimentary sequences that bind to a plurality of target sequences in the sample, and a plurality of different tag sequences for each of the plurality of target sequences in the sample. At least a portion of the target sequences bound to the probes are caused to bind to the different locations on the substrate. And, the method includes, by using scanning circuitry and information indicative of the different locations and associated tag sequences, assessing the number of the target sequences in the sample.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus comprising:\n a substrate having a plurality of complementary tag sequences at a plurality of different locations on the substrate, the complementary tag sequences being configured and arranged to bind to a plurality of tag sequences as part of a plurality of probes; the plurality of probes including a set of probes for each of a plurality of target sequences, the set of probes for one of the plurality of target sequences including:\n a plurality of copies of a complimentary sequence configured and arranged to bind to the target sequence, and \n a plurality of different tag sequences configured and arranged to bind to a particular location of the plurality of different locations on the substrate; \n scanning circuitry configured and arranged to scan the substrate and, therefrom, capture signals indicative of tag sequences bound to the substrate; and processing circuitry configured and arranged to assess a number of each of the plurality of target sequences in a sample based on the captured signals and information indicative of the plurality of different locations and associated with the plurality of tag sequences.
