Contains 1X running buffer to support all electrophoresis applications on the
instrument. Has a built-in overflow chamber to maintain constant fluid height.
Pumps polymer into the array and allows for automated maintenance procedures.
Includes the displacement pump chamber, polymer chambers, piston water seal,
capillary array port, check valve fitting, water trap waste container, buffer valve, anode
electrode, buffer gasket, and holds the anode buffer container.
• Polymer pouch—Supplies polymer to the polymer delivery pump.
• Conditioning reagent pouch—Used for washing the polymer pump and capillary
array during polymer type changes, and during instrument shut down. Has
adequate volume for a one-time use.
Contains 1X running buffer to support all electrophoresis applications on the
instrument.
Contains positions for up to four plates that correspond to positions A, B, C, and D on
the home screen of the software. The drawer can be opened when the instrument is
running to add and remove sample plates. The order in which plates are run can be
controlled by the user or can be automated using the bar code workflow.
Scans the barcodes on plates to support an automated workflow.
Enables the separation of the fluorescent-labeled DNA fragments by electrophoresis.
It is a consumable that is available with 8 or 24 capillaries.
Maintains uniform capillary array temperature.
Allows detection of the fluorescent-labeled DNA fragments.
Maintains uniform detection cell temperature.
Allows interaction with the instrument using tap and swipe actions.
Indicates proper operation of the instrument. Flashes amber if there is a problem with
operation.
