ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus for analyzing the sequences of polynucleotides. The apparatus comprises (a) flow cell which has at least one microfabricated multilayer elastomeric synthesis channel; and (b) an inlet port and an outlet port. The inlet port and outlet ports are in fluid communication with the flow cell for flowing fluids into and through the flow cell.
