Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 785A #293637173 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 785A Automated DNA Sequencer is a laboratory instrument used for automated DNA electrophoresis and sequencing. The instrument uses fluorescence detection technology to separate and identify the bases that make up a strand of DNA. It is a key component of the automated PCR processes currently being used in research laboratories. The machine is capable of running up to 8 samples simultaneously and each sample is run in its own flow cell. This means that the machine is highly efficient and saves time, as well as reducing sample source contamination. The samples are run through the machine's separation column which uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the samples. This is followed by electrophoresis, where the samples are separated by size, with the smaller fragments moving the furthest away. 785A is capable of limited sample manipulation, such as concentration measurements, as well as performing spectroscopic analysis of the samples. This helps to identify SNPs (single nucleotides polymorphisms) within the samples which can be used for diagnostic and research purposes. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 785A is highly sensitive and can detect as low as 1 picogram of dyes on its laser-based fluorometer. This means that it is capable of detecting very small differences between samples and can be used to distinguish between mutations, different species and relatedness, for example. Due to its robust design, 785A can be reliably used in various laboratory settings including university and research laboratories and in clinical settings. It is equipped with safety features including over temperature alarms, open and closed lid protection and an emergency stop button, as well as multiple error notifications. Overall, APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS 785A is an excellent choice for those wanting an automated DNA sequencing machine. It is reliable, easy to use and highly efficient, making it an ideal addition to any laboratory.
