RESUMO
Multiwavelength detection of laser induced fluorescence for dideoxynucleotide DNA sequencing with four different fluorophores and separation by capillary gel electrophoresis is described. A cryogenically cooled, low readout noise, 2-dimensional charge-coupled device is used as a detector for the on-line, on-column recording of emission spectra. The detection system has no moving parts and provides wavelength selectivity on a single detector device. The detection limit of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides meets the high sensitivity requirements for capillary DNA sequencing largely due to the efficient operation of the CCD detector with a 94% duty cycle. Using the condition number as a selectivity criterion, multiwavelength detection provides better analytical selectivity than detection with four bandpass filters. Monte Carlo studies and analytical estimates show that base assignment errors are reduced with peak identification based on entire emission spectra. High-speed separation of sequencing samples and the treatment of the 2-dimensional electropherogram data is presented. Comparing the DNA sequence of a sample separated by slab gel electrophoresis with sequence from capillary gel electrophoresis and multiwavelength detection we find no significant difference in the amount of error attributable to the instrumentation.
