1. A fluidic system for delivering reagents from a reagent cartridge to a flow cell comprising:

  • a reagent manifold comprising a manifold body comprising a solid material through which a plurality of channels pass, wherein the plurality of channels is configured to fluidly connect a reagent cartridge to an inlet of a flow cell, wherein one or more of the channels in the manifold comprises a cache reservoir;

    a plurality of reagent sippers attached to the manifold body and extending downward from ports in the manifold, each of the reagent sippers configured to be placed into a reagent reservoir in a reagent cartridge so that liquid reagents can be drawn from a plurality of the reagent reservoirs into the sippers;

    at least one valve configured to mediate fluid communication through the plurality of reagent sippers, then through the channels and then through the inlet of the flow cell; and

    a detection apparatus configured to detect nucleic acid features in the flow cell.
