Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX SOLiD #142951 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS / ABI / MDS SCIEX SOLiD is a versatile laboratory instrument and accessories package designed for next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications. This equipment is designed to overcome the bottleneck of late-stage sample data generation, from sample preparation to automated real-time sequencing. Its genetic analysis capabilities offer unprecedented data yield and quality, making it one of the top options for researchers on a mission to achieve fast and comprehensible results. The system includes a variety of components and accessories, all of which work together to provide users with numerous advantages. ABI SOLiD is powered by a patented sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technology and fluorescence-based DNA sequencing chemistry. First, nucleotides are fluorescently labeled to capture the genetic signatures of a given sample. The fluorescent signals are then read and analyzed by an ABI/MDS array platform to accurately decode the nucleotide sequence. The device can decode small fragments of DNA with very high accuracy rate, at speeds of up to 240 bases per second. This is made possible by a circular template DNA structure, which eliminates the necessity of clean-up steps commonly needed in earlier sequencing technologies. Moreover, the unit features a number of high-precision accessories, including robotic liquid handlers, pipetting arms, and nano-scale dispensers that ensure efficient sample preparation and delivery. Along with its imaging systems, which include high-speed digital cameras for analyzing the fluorescent signals, MDS SCIEX SOLiD also boasts a number of data management tools. These include software packages for data storage, integration, and analysis, as well as various visualization tools. For those interested in controlling their data in real-time, the machine even offers a process monitoring option. These features make SOLiD an ideal choice for sequencing and genetic analysis. By providing a comprehensive, yet streamlined, laboratory solution, this tool has become a cornerstone of advanced genomics research. With the capacity to generate unprecedented volumes of genetic data, APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS SOLiD is helping laboratories make dramatic breakthroughs in understanding the human genome.
