A method of retrieving sequence-verified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) includes positioning a sequence-verified DNA molecule on a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) substrate. The MEMS substrate includes an electrostatic actuator and the sequence-verified DNA molecule is positioned adjacent to a moving element. The method also includes applying a voltage between the moving element and a stator to cause a motion of the moving element, thereby ejecting the sequence-verified DNA molecule from the MEMS substrate.
