In summary, a Toy DNA Sequencer is a miniaturized version of a DNA sequencer designed for educational and recreational purposes. It works by simplifying the principles of a regular DNA sequencer and can be used for various activities such as DNA extraction, genetic experiments, and educational projects. While it may not have the same level of accuracy as a professional DNA sequencer, it is still a useful tool for learning and exploring DNA sequencing technology. The future of Toy DNA Sequencers looks promising with advancements in technology making them more accessible and affordable for educational and recreational use.

You got me high up for nothing. 
It is only a DNA extraction kit. The expensive part is the the centrifuge.
