MicroSEQ™ ID Software for SeqStudio™ Genetic Analyzer v1.0

MicroSEQ ID Software for SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer v1.0 enables the easy identification and classification of bacterial or fungal DNA sequences by comparing them to a validated microbial library.

Features of the MicroSEQ ID Software include:
• Validated library of over 11,000 microbial sequences (with latest libraries)
• Automatic identification of unknown specimens
• Enables the running of a plate on the SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer directly via the software
• Includes security, audit, and e-signature features
• Qualification and validation support available

For a package containing the software plus all MicroSEQ library kits, please see Cat. No. A51427.

Confidently identify microbes
The MicroSEQ ID sequence libraries consist of bacterial libraries of 500-bp 16S rDNA sequences and over 9500 validated entries, with extensive coverage of gram-negative non-fermenters, Bacillus, coryneforms, mycobacteria, and Staphylococcus, as well as a fungal library containing more than 1700 entries. To help ensure accurate identification of the species of the sequences, all library entries have been rigorously validated. 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.

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. 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.
