3730 DNA Analyzer

Description

The 48-capillary 3730 DNA Analyzer is the Gold Standard in medium-to-high throughput genetic analysis. Use the 3730 DNA Analyzer for DNA fragment analysis applications such as microsatellites, AFLP, SNP analysis, mutation detection and traditional DNA sequencing. Get the highest quality data at a low cost per sample. This is upgradeable to 96 capillaries.

• Higher optical sensitivity and advanced polymers enable you to obtain higher-quality data at a lower cost.
• Multiple automation features decrease costly human errors.
• Optimized polymers increase your productivity without compromising your results.
• Perform a wide variety of sequencing and fragment analysis applications including resequencing, microsatellite analysis, AFLP, LOH, SSCP, SNP screening and SNP validation.

Expand Your Laboratory's Possibilities
By dramatically improving your data quality, significantly reducing your cost per sample, and enabling you to perform more runs per day, the fully automated 48-capillary 3730 system gives your laboratory a tremendous technological and financial advantage. Which means you can pursue an exciting diversity of projects (and you can always upgrade to 96 capillaries when you need to).

Streamline Your Workflow
The 3730 DNA Analyzer system is engineered for highly reliable, unattended operation of up to 48 hours (applies to modules with run times longer than 30 minutes). Automation features which minimize the need for operator intervention and decrease the risk of human error include an integrated plate stacker, internal bar code reader, and onboard polymer delivery system.

Increase Productivity
The high signal-to-noise ratio ensures you get high-quality data – even when you use low-concentration samples and reagents. Labor-saving automation features minimize hands-on time and enable you to analyze more data more efficiently.

Get the Highest-Quality Sequencing and Genotyping Data
The enhanced optical design provides a higher signal-to-noise ratio and a more uniform signal profile across the array. This design, combined with our new, advanced polymer, enables the longest read lengths of any available system, and provides enhanced color balance for streamlined genotyping sample handling. In addition, exceptional sensitivity enables higher success rates across a wider range of sample templates and concentrations than other currently available systems.

One Instrument, Multiple Applications
With the 3730 DNA Analyzer, you get the highest-quality data from a wide array of applications. In addition to being ideal for high-throughput sequencing, the analyzer's optimized application assays, instrument, and analysis software also provide a complete solution for genotyping and resequencing.

Integrated Data Analysis Tools Reduce Time-to-Results
The 3730 DNA Analyzer software suite allows you to generate more meaningful data with less work. This system's labor-saving software suite includes:
• Data Collection (supplied with the instrument): Manages your instrument setup, controls instrument operations, allows real-time data visualization, and performs diagnostics. New features include: Auto-analysis with GeneMapper® and SeqScape®
• Tools to assist with regulatory and compliance requirements (In the United States, this assists with FDA 21CFR part 11).
Flexibility to use any choice in dye set option.
• Additional optimized sequencing run modules covering more applications.
• Sequencing Analysis – Designed to base-call; assign quality values; trim, display, edit and print DNA sequencing data using the KB basecaller
• Seqscape® – Provides everything you need to perform resequencing applications such as VariantSEQr™ Resequencing System
• GeneMapper® – Enables configurable, automated allele calling – a plus for high-throughput genotyping and includes tools for SNPlex™ data analysis

The instrument comes with a one year limited warranty on parts and labor.
