3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer

The 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer is a 24-capillary CE-IVD-marked member of our Applied Biosystems™ 3500 Series of genetic analyzers based on capillary electrophoresis.

Confidence in your results
• High accuracy—Using BigDye™ Terminator Sequencing Standard 3.1, the instrument has shown >99% read accuracy
• Proven through decades of results (including sequencing of the first human genome)—Applied Biosystems™ genetic analyzers are a trusted standard for Sanger sequencing

Simplicity and efficiency
• Reduced instrument hands-on time with simplified installation and removal of consumables and accessories
• Controlled and efficient run setup with intuitive user interface, preconfigured plate templates, and software-controlled functions (plate setup, data collection, analysis)
• Maintenance calendar with programmable prompts and service history functionality
• Security and electronic signature, RFID (radio frequency identification) tracking of consumables, built-in quality controls, and real-time data quality evaluation

The 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer is a partner in your laboratory, making it easy for you to comply with various industry standards and train new users.

Flexibility
• Develop other applications in RUO mode, including de novo sequencing and re-sequencing, as well as fragment analysis applications such as microsatellite analysis, MLPA™, LOH, MLST, and SNP confirmation or screening
• Different configurations to meet your throughput needs: 24-capillary version (described here) and 8-capillary version

The 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer is a trusted capillary electrophoresis-based platform for development of your assays. Capillary electrophoresis-based applications are supported by a large number of publications over the many years that they have been used successfully in laboratory testing.

The purchase of a 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer includes a computer system and associated Data Collection software, as well as an installation kit with the initial set of accessories and reagents needed to start using the instrument right away. The 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer installation includes a full install and operational qualification, as well as instrument training to introduce you to your new instrument.

The 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer is backed by a comprehensive Service & Support program with options to purchase additional services per your laboratory maintenance and audit requirements.

Intended use
The Applied Biosystems™ 3500 Dx/3500xL Dx genetic analyzers are intended for use by trained operators in the analysis of human DNA or RNA, for the detection of genetic changes that may lead to disease presence or susceptibility.

Note: The 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer data collection software uses the Windows Vista operating system. If you order the latest secondary analysis software tools, they will need to be run on a separate computer.
