SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer Instrument and Software User Guide
™
The Applied Biosystems
Collection Software is a fluorescent dye-labeled genetic analysis system using
capillary electrophoresis technology. It enables both sequencing and fragment
analysis applications without the need to switch polymer type or capillary array
length.
The instrument uses a self-contained, replaceable cartridge with:
• A 4-capillary array
• A universal polymer capable of performing sequencing and fragment analysis
• A polymer delivery system (PDS)
• Anode buffer
™
The SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer automatically:
• Performs an optical alignment each time a cartridge is inserted.
• Performs an automatic spectral calibration adjustment (auto calibration) for each
sample to correct for spectral overlap.
The instrument is compatible with 96-well Standard plates and 8-strip Standard tubes.
™
The SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer is a stand-alone instrument. It is run directly from
the touchscreen with SeqStudio
computer. Plate setup can be done directly on the touchscreen, on a computer with
™
SeqStudio Plate Manager, or on the Connect cloud-based platform. A run can be
monitored directly on the instrument touchscreen or remotely on the Connect
platform.
Note: The Connect cloud-based platform is not supported for HID analysis.
