How to integrate readout electronics in next-generation sequencing tools

For future systems focus is on higher throughput (i.e. more sensors), smaller size and lower cost which translates into the integration of the readout electronics inside the system.

This is beneficial for different reasons. First of all, the system performance will increase by integrating the readout electronics close to the sensors. Second, it allows to use large arrays of sensors. And thirdly, it improves the signal-to-noise ration and the bandwidth.

In this webinar, we will talk about the enormous potential of specially designed chips, so-called ASICs, for the readout electronics. These form the base on which the sensors, photonics and microfluidics are post-processed to manufacture a fully integrated solution.

We will stress the importance of co-developing the design of readout electronics, sensors and microfluidics. To realize future sequencing concepts, experts of these different disciplines need to work together.
