MicroSEQ™ ID Microbial Identification Software v3.1.3, Lite

MicroSEQ ID Microbial Identification Software v3.1.3 allows you to easily identify and classify unidentified bacterial or fungal sequences by comparing them to a validated microbial library. The Lite version of the software is for use on a stand-alone PC (not connected to the genetic analyzer) for simple analyses. This product configuration contains the software USB media and license registration code kit only. Sequence libraries are sold separately or included with other product configurations.

Features of MicroSEQ ID Microbial Identification Software and associated sequence libraries include:
• Automatically identify unknown specimens against a validated microbial library of over 3000 microbial sequences
• Run plates directly on Applied Biosystems 3500 Series genetic analyzers
• Equipped with security, audit, and e-signature features to enable 21 CFR Pt. 11 compliance
• Qualification and validation support available

Confidently identify microbes
The MicroSEQ ID sequence libraries (not included) consist of bacterial libraries of 500 bp 16S rDNA sequences and approximately 9300 validated entries, including extensive coverage of gram-negative non-fermenters, Bacillus, Coryneforms, Mycobacteria, and Staphylococcus, as well as a fungal library containing more than 1300 entries. To help ensure accurate identification of the species of your sequences, we rigorously validate all library entries. And unlike other widely available databases, MicroSEQ libraries contain only correctly identified organisms and quality-controlled sequences derived from type strains of preeminent culture collections. The libraries also support sequence polymorphisms and include bacterial Category A biothreat agents.

Automatically identify unknown specimens
Reviewing each specimen in a project file to make a manual identification call can be tedious and time consuming. The Auto-ID feature in MicroSEQ ID software uses a set of editable parameters to automatically identify unknown specimens. The results table is displayed in the report, and an editable comments field allows additional information or manual identifications to be entered into the same table.

Run plates on 3500/3500xL instruments directly via the MicroSEQ ID software
Applied Biosystems 3500 Series genetic analyzer users are now able to run plates on these instruments directly via the MicroSEQ ID software v3.1.3 user interface, without needing Auto-analysis Manager. A single software wizard enables you to set up projects, specimens, and plates; adjust the plate layout via drag and drop; start and monitor the run; and review results.

The MicroSEQ system: a complete, integrated solution
Streamlining every step in microbial identification, the MicroSEQ system combines the advantages of MicroSEQ ID software with easy-to-use PrepMan Ultra sample preparation reagents and protocols, MicroSEQ bacterial and fungal application kits, and industry-leading thermal cyclers and sequencing systems. To help ensure optimal performance and system-wide integration, we develop and test all components of the system together. The MicroSEQ ID software also includes security, audit, and electronic signature features enabling the software to smoothly integrate into your workflow.

Qualification and validation support
To help ensure seamless integration into your laboratory, from installation to routine operation, we offer comprehensive installation and operational qualification (IQ/OQ) and validation support services.
