Applied Biosystems™ 3500 Genetic Analyzer for Fragment Analysis

Applied Biosystems™ 3500 Genetic Analyzer for Fragment Analysis

The 3500 Genetic Analyzer is an 8-capillary sequencing instrument specifically designed to support the demanding performance needs of validated and process-controlled environments, while retaining the unsurpassed application versatility that life science researchers expect. The analyzer supports a wide variety of applications, including de novo sequencing and re-sequencing (mutational profiling), as well as microsatellite analysis, MLPA™, LOH, MLST, AFLP®, and SNP validation or screening. The majority of applications can be run on a single polymer and capillary array.

In addition to the 3500 Genetic Analyzer, this fragment analysis package includes 3500 Series Data Collection Software, a Dell Workstation and monitor, reagent kits for system qualification, and secondary analysis software. 3500 Series Data Collection Software supports sequencing and fragment analysis, and integrates seamlessly with downstream software for secondary analysis of genetic data. GeneMapper™ secondary analysis software is included in this package.

Features

• Cost effective—lower running costs per sample and increased reagent life (14 days)
• Easy setup—no special power outlets or external exhaust needed
• Increased multiplexing—6-dye capability to interrogate more SNPs or markers
• Easy-to-use software—integrated data collection and primary analysis software for real-time assessment of data quality
• Consumables tracking—radio frequency identification (RFID) technology used for residual volume and expiry date tracking
• Improved data uniformity—instrument-to-instrument, run-to-run, and capillary-to-capillary
• More stable and precise fragment sizing due to improved oven temperature control
• Smaller footprint versus 3130/3130xl instruments
