How? What instrument do you propose to use to see the sequence of fluorescent tags?

Sep 12, 2019 at 9:46 comment added David It is unclear whether you are asking a) how the Sanger method works, or b) why it is used (or why it was invented) when Next Gen methods are better. However my guess is that you are student who has encountered DNA sequencing methods without any historical or practical context, and has got bogged down in the preparation of the samples rather than the methods for actually determining the sequences. Read Wikipedia on Sanger and more modern Sequencing methods. (The Sanger method predates PCR.)
