Advances in Fluorescent Sequencing
March 2009
When this was first developed it was still done still with polyacrylamide gels. That would still require many gels; that would still require multiple millions of gels. But very quickly people switched that instead of gels they switched to long capillary tubes that the samples could be run through. These capillary tubes enable you to reuse them many times. You put a sample on, you run the sample through, you wash to remove anything residual, and you add an additional sample. Then you are not required to continually prepare new polyacrylamide gels and this sets you up for automation. Initially these were single capillary devices that would run one sample through, again one sample could do a complete sequence of one material but then very quickly they developed 6-capillary devices and eventually this led to a 96-capillary device.
