Various cell analysis systems of the present teachings can measure the electrical and metabolic activity of single, living cells with subcellular addressability and simultaneous data acquisition for between about 10 cells to about 500,000 cells in a single analysis. Various sensor array devices of the present teachings can have sensor arrays with between 20 million to 660 million ChemFET sensors built into a massively paralleled array and can provide for simultaneous measurement of cells with data acquisition rates in the kilohertz (kHz) range. As various ChemFET sensor arrays of the present teachings can detect chemical analytes as well detect changes in cell membrane potential, various cell analysis systems of the present teachings also provide for the controlled chemical and electrical interrogation of cells. The frame rate can be increased by selecting a smaller subset of pixels to monitor, i.e. by windowing down the area of a sensor array device over which data is collected.

A sequencing system includes an automated sequencing instrument adapted to determine variant calls for one or more extracted polynucleotide samples with a performance of at least 98.5% raw read accuracy and a run time in a range of 5 hours to 14 hours to determine variant calls for 4 extracted polynucleotide samples using a targeted assay with one DNA pool per sample and an average amplicon size in a range of 100 to 120 bases.

Systems, devices and methods for cell analysis provide an end user with real-time cell analysis and imaging of single cells in a population. Various cell analysis systems can provide both optical imaging, as well as electroscopic imaging, which is an image of cellular response as detected by sensors covering a cell footprint or cellular efflux. An automated fluidic system can provide an end-user selected sequence of reagents to cells, while precision controlled sensor array device thermostatting, and analysis compartment environmental control provide consistency in the cell analysis system environment.
