A method for depositing particles on a surface includes receiving a plurality of particles, a particle of the plurality of particles having a polymer matrix conjugated to nucleic acid strands, exposing the plurality of particles to a solution; and applying the plurality of particles to a surface following exposing the plurality of particles to the solution, particles of the plurality of particles depositing on the surface. The solution includes a magnesium salt in a range of 30 mM to 500 mM, a potassium salt in a range of 0.8 M to 1.0 M, a buffering agent in a range of 150 mM to 500 mM, and a surfactant in a range of 0.05% to 0.5%.

Device preparation using condensed nucleic acid particles

A method of sequencing a nucleic acid strand includes receiving particles having nucleic acid strands coupled to a polymer matrix, exposing the particles to a solution including a condensing agent, and applying the particles to a surface, the particles depositing on the surface.
