Abstract
An advanced imaging spectrograph system and method are provided for very high throughput identification, sequencing and/or genotyping of DNA and other molecules. The system is based on the integration of improved electrophoresis structures with an imaging spectrophotometer that records the entire emission spectra along an imaging line across a sequencing gel (or capillary array). The system includes spectral shape matching to improve dye identification allowing the use of dyes having nearly any emission spectra and allowing greater than four dye multiplexing.
