The Sequencing-by-Synthesis method, also known as Solexa-Illumina-method, is the most widespread method among all Next-Generation-Sequencing methods (NGS). It was used to identify the RNA fingerprint of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in January 2020 in a research institute in Wuhan. Since then, this RNA fingerprint measurement has frequently been repeated in research institutes all over the world. And today this NGS method is used worldwide day-by-day to continuously monitor the SARS-CoV-2 virus for mutations. Sub-systems for motion and positioning of imaging optics and flow cells play a decisive role in this method.
