Description

ThermoFisher' latest 8-capillary 3500 Genetic Analyzer and 24-capillary 3500xL Genetic Analyzer set a new standard for capillary electrophoresis. The 3500 Series Genetic Analyzers are designed to meet the rigorous demands for instrument performance in validation and regulatory environments while retaining the unparalleled application versatility that Applied Biosystems products are known for among life science researchers.

Performance Features of Genetic Analyzer
• Upgradeable from 8-capillary 3500 system to 24-capillary 3500xL system.
• Advanced thermal control system design to better meet the stringent temperature control requirements for DNA fragment analysis.
• 505 nm single-wavelength solid-state long-life laser source—powered by a standard power supply, no heat dissipation required.
• Significantly improved signal intensity consistency across instruments, runs, and capillaries.
• Powerful, integrated data collection and preliminary analysis software providing real-time assessment of data quality.
• Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology tracks key consumable data and records management information.
• Advanced multicolor fluorescence analysis capability, enabling multiplex detection of DNA fragments with up to 6 different fluorescent dyes.
• Unparalleled application flexibility—one capillary array and one polymer separation gel suitable for most research applications.
• Simple installation, operation, and maintenance—the easiest-to-own and easiest-to-operate DNA sequencer to date.
