Robotic automation of dideoxyribonucleotide sequencing reactions.
1994
We developed a robot to carry out standard Sanger dideoxyribonucleotide sequencing reactions efficiently and with minimal human intervention. A commercial robot was adapted to our design and specifications, and we programmed it to perform up to 240 sequencing reactions in a single unattended run of 7 h. The robot configuration can be easily altered to allow 480 reactions to be performed in an unattended run of 14 h. The special features of our robot include cooled reagent reservoirs and cooled chambers for storage of DNA templates and completed reactions as well as reproducible aspiration of small volumes by using a sensing algorithm
