SEQUENCING DEVICE FOR SEQUENCING AT LEAST ONE INDIVIDUAL NUCLEIC ACID STRAND, AND METHOD FOR SEQUENCING AT LEAST ONE INDIVIDUAL NUCLEIC ACID STRAND

摘要

The invention relates to a sequencing device for sequencing at least one individual nucleic acid strand (10), comprising a sample retainer (12) on which a conductive surface (14) with at least one polymerase (16) is secured or can be secured. The sequencing device additionally comprises a nucleotide feed device (22), by means of which different types of nucleotides (24) can be fed onto the conductive surface (14) in a specifiable sequence, an excitation device (28), by means of which an alternating electric field can be generated, a detection device (36), by means of which at least one varying signal (38) can be ascertained, and an analyzing device (40) designed to output information (44) relating to a type of a nucleotide (24) that is polymerized onto at least one primer (18) and/or the complementary nucleotide of at least one individual nucleic acid strand (10) while taking into consideration the at least one varying signal (38). The invention also relates to a method for sequencing at least one individual nucleic acid strand (10).
