DNA sequencer

Genetic code decoder

A DNA sequencer is a machine that reads the order of nucleotides in a strand of DNA.

Modern sequencers automate what was once painstaking laboratory work, processing millions of genetic fragments simultaneously.

The technology underpins genomics research, medical diagnostics, and forensic identification: The lab ran the sample through a DNA sequencer overnight.
