1. A system for preparing a nucleotide solution, the system comprising:
a cartridge having:
a housing having first and second major surfaces and defining a guide mechanism; and
a plurality of containers disposed in the housing, each container of the plurality of containers having a receptacle and a lid, the lid formed of a clip and a seal, a frit disposed in the receptacle in an enclosed space defined by the receptacle and the seal, the seal having an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with an enclosed space, the frit including a nucleotide concentrate; and
a docking station having:
a first platform including a second guide mechanism to receive the cartridge and complementary to the guide mechanism of the cartridge; and
a second platform moveable relative to the first platform and including a fluidic interface having a plurality of fluidic connectors, each fluidic connector of the plurality of fluidic connectors including a tube to engage an inlet of a container of the plurality of containers of the cartridge and including an outer ridge to enclose the outlet of the container.
