Patent ID: 6841128

Claim:
A system for obtaining nucleic acid sequence information comprising: a reaction vessel; a first capillary or groove supplying dATP into the reaction vessel by pressurizing or by a liquid transfer system a second capillary or groove supplying dGTP into the reaction vessel by pressurizing or by a liquid transfer system; a third capillary or groove supplying dCTP into the reaction vessel by pressurizing or by a liquid transfer system; a forth capillary or groove supplying dTTP into the reaction vessel by pressurizing or by a liquid transfer system; and a detector monitoring synthesis of a strand complementary to a template nucleic acid by detecting chemiluminescence which arises from reaction with ATP and luciferin in the presence of luciferase at the reaction vessel the ATP being converted from pyrophosphate produced from the synthesis which uses one of the dATP, the dGTP, the dCTP and the dTTP, wherein the template nucleic acid is set in the reaction vessel.
