AbstractAs DNA sequencing technology rapidly evolves, once state-of-the-art equipment, originally priced in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, often becomes obsolete in less than a decade. Consequently, thousands of DNA sequencers are being decommissioned and, without a clear use, are either discarded or sold on secondary markets at a fraction of their original cost. Despite being outdated for sequencing, these instruments still contain highly valuable components including precision robotics, advance
