    Abstract: The present invention is directed to sequencing of nucleic acids. A method is provided for sequencing based on immobilized nucleic acid on a surface. Advantageously, a long range detection mechanism is used for detecting, whether a nucleotide provided to the substrate of a biochip has been incorporated into the immobilized template nucleic acid. Various different alignment means are provided by the present invention which can be used for facilitating a rigidly locking of the orientation of the DNA complex, which complex comprises the template nucleic acid, the primer and the capture nucleic acid. Various different linker systems may be used to immobilize the DNA complex at a first and a second strand end, such that the desired alignment of the DNA complex is achieved. Also co-adsorbed molecules on the substrate surface can be used for such an aligning measure. Additionally, or alternatively, an electrical field may be applied for repelling the DNA complex from the electrode and for facilitating a vertical DNA complex orientation. Advantageously, label-free nucleotides can be used, if desired.

    Abstract: Arrangements are described for evaluating characteristics of target molecules. A biochip is received which includes a substrate to which charged probe molecules are attached. The probe molecules have a marker to allow generating signals indicative of the distance of a portion of the probe molecule from the substrate. The signals are detected and means for an external electric field is generated to which the probe molecules are exposed. A control means acts to: (A) apply an external electric field causing the portion of the probe molecule to approach the substrate, and (B) apply an external electric field causing the portion of the probe molecule to move away from the substrate. The signal is recorded as a function of time during step (A) and/or step (B). Steps (A) and (B) are repeated for a predetermined number of times and the recorded signals are combined.
