Applied Biosystems 3500 Genetic Analyzer

We set a new standard in capillary electrophoresis with the 8-capillary 3500 and 24-capillary 3500xL Genetic Analyzers. The 3500 8-capillary platform can run a wide variety of applications —including de novo sequencing and resequencing (mutational profiling)—as well as microsatellite analysis, MLPA™, LOH, MLST, AFLP® and SNP validation or screening. The majority of applications can be run on a single polymer and capillary arra…

Awesome results from a machine with ease of application.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Gene sequencing

One of the most amazing pieces of equipment I have used recently. It has an easy mode of application producing good results especially when the sample qua8is high as measured by nanodrop. Its application both before and after purchase was impressive, I can recommend this machine to laboratories wishing to consider sanger sequencing a priority.

Laboratory Diagnostics

ABI 3500 are being used in our Laboratory for DNA sequencing, MLPA and fragment Analysis. We are satisfied with machine as it produced reliable results. Operation of machine is very easy. Software is found user friendly. Reagents and equipment are found cost effective.

Review Date: 29 Oct 2021 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Good instrument for a small lab setting to analyze your samples.

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

DNA sequencing

The genetic analyzer helped me a lot during my research when I needed to sequence many DNA samples after doing PCR purification using Wizard SV Purification. One drawback is that the time taken to get the results is a bit high. But useful instrument.
