Genetic Analyzers 3500 and 3500 xL Series

The Applied Biosystems™ 3500 Series Genetic Analyzer is designed to maintain the unsurpassed application versatility that life science researchers. The versatile throughput system (48–1200 samples per day) supports a wide variety of applications using its DNA sequencing and fragment-sizing capabilities and, unlike its predecessors, has been designed with a specific feature set and workflow for Human Identification (HID) applications.

Features

We have enhanced our gold-standard 3500 Series instruments and GeneMapper ID-X software solutions in response to customers’ need to decrease data analysis time, increase confidence in their results, allow for a more efficient processing workflow, and comply with ever-changing IT requirements. Combined with our STR kits, the improved 3500 data collection software v4.0 and GeneMapper ID-X Software v1.6 offer an efficient workflow.

Improved data interpretation—Reduced pull-up edits, improved first-pass success rate for database labs, more efficient data transfer to probabilistic genotyping
Enhanced user experience—flexible plate loading, streamlined workflow, support languages, 6-dye installation standard
IT support and compliance—Windows 10 support, CODIS compatibility, internationalization

More features:

The innovative “snap-in-and-go” consumable design uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to track and record key consumables data.
The HID-specific workflow preconfigured for Applied Biosystems™ STR kits simplifies run setup and software navigation.
Powerful, integrated data collection and QC analysis software provides real-time assessment of data quality and streamlined STR analyses, allowing for more efficient management of re-injections.
An advanced long-life solid-state laser reduces the physical footprint of the system, eliminating the need for heat-ducting and requiring only a standard-voltage plug.
