Re: [DIYbio] Ultra-Cheap DNA Printing/Sequencing

you don't need some new kind of laser to do that though, you just need
the right optical know-how and a decent detector setup. Read the
patents by Helicos and you'll find plenty of similar setups in
academic literature:

You can label-free detection by moving to a Raman setup.
