SFDA Classification | It is not classified as a medical device (others). |
Purpose of Use | To determine the sequence of DNA (adenine A, guanine G, thymine T, uracil U, cytosin C) or any other gene. |
Work Location & End-User | Place of work: Research centers. End user: researchers and scientists |
Parts & Accessories | • Nanoprobe group • Microfluidic • Visual • Data Analyst Signal gain strength • Display Screen |
Operation | The DNA is inserted into the gel on top of the tank and an electric current is applied. The positive charge will be applied at the end of the tank. Therefore, the positive charge pulls the DNA to the end of the reservoir. The smallest part will move faster than the largest. Therefore, they will be arranged from smallest to largest. |
Common Problems | • Failed DNA sequencing reaction. • Mixed tracking. • Poor quality and short tracking. • Poor tracking. • Peaks of chromosomal dots. • Noisy and noisy tracking. • A sharp signal or a bubble rising. |
Manufacturers | • Beckman Coulter • Illumina • Pacific Biosciences • Roche • Pacific Biosciences of California (PacBio) • Life Technologies. |
