I had an informant living with Cambrian Genomics and I never got this
tiny detail:

"Cambrian Genomics brings in lasers only once the plate is covered
with many thousands of DNA-carrying beads, and once each of the beads
has been sequenced. With so many copies made, some predictable portion
will have been made error-free, and an automated laser flits about
over the plate and blasts any beads with a desired sequence off of the
plate and into a collector."

Using a laser to avoid contamination was the missing detail...
otherwise Cambrian's idea doesn't seem interesting.
