This innovative method utilizes a PicoTiter™ plate to facilitate cyclic DNA sequencing through a series of proprietary enzymatic reactions. By loading DNA and engineered enzyme beads, we enable the production of pyrophosphate (PPi) and ATP, which drive light generation in real-time. The process includes cyclic additions of nucleotides and a specialized diffusion mechanism for efficient nucleotide incorporation. Apyrase enzyme is employed to neutralize unincorporated nucleotides, thereby ensuring accurate signal processing. This technology enhances sequencing speed and accuracy.
