Background:

  • Capillary array electrophoresis is a key technology for DNA sequencing.
  • Reducing sample volumes in sequencing reactions presents challenges in maintaining efficiency and data quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the feasibility of DNA sequencing from sub-microliter sample volumes using capillary array electrophoresis.
  • To optimize methods for analyzing small reaction aliquots and preparing reactions within capillaries.
  • To assess the impact of various parameters on electrokinetic injection efficiency and sequencing performance.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 500 nanoliter (nl) reaction aliquots from larger volume reactions.
  • Preparation of 500 nl reactions directly within fused-silica capillaries.
