DNA sequencers are high-throughput instruments designed to determine the nucleotide sequence of DNA molecules with precision and scalability. These systems are foundational in genomics research, cancer diagnostics, microbiology, evolutionary biology, and personalized medicine, enabling scientists to unravel the complete genetic code of organisms ranging from bacteria to humans.
Modern next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms support applications such as whole-genome sequencing (WGS), targeted gene panels, exome sequencing, and metagenomics. Researchers use DNA sequencers to identify mutations, structural variants, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and microbial species, making them critical for cancer research, rare disease diagnosis, and infectious disease surveillance.
DNA sequencers operate by fragmenting DNA, preparing libraries, amplifying target sequences, and detecting incorporated bases in real time or through signal accumulation. Common technologies include Illumina sequencing by synthesis (SBS), Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing, and Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencing, each with distinct benefits in terms of read length, accuracy, and throughput.
These systems are integrated with automated sample loaders, barcoding, and bioinformatics software for high-throughput data collection and analysis. They support multiplexing, enabling hundreds of samples to be sequenced simultaneously at low cost per base.
