Used APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS ABI Prism 3100 #9138255 for sale

APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS ABI Prism 3100 is a high-performance, cost-effective DNA sequencer designed for molecular biology laboratories. It is a versatile tool capable of producing sequence-specific DNA fragments for use in PCR, sequencing and genotyping. ABI Prism 3100 uses advanced laser technology to rapidly detect different sample fluorescence signals coming from single-stranded fluorescently labeled DNA fragments. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS ABI Prism 3100 includes a set of four optical lasers - a helium-neon (HeNe) laser for calibration and a helium-cadmium (HeCd) laser for excitation of fluorophore labels in a 384-channel multi-lane format. It has a maximum sequencing speed of 25 megabases (Mb) per run, and a maximum read length of 500 bases per read. Its data read resolution is up to 35 bases per pixel. It also has a built-in gel casting module which can cast up to three 48-well sample gels at a time. ABI Prism 3100 also features an on-board fluorescence scanner that can detect sample fluorescence signals. It includes a 4 color imaging system and a sensitive CCD detector that can read all four bases on a sequencing gel at the same time. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS ABI Prism 3100 can achieve up to 5 times better resolution than the previous model, and can acquire data from gels at a rate of 2 kb/sec. In addition, ABI Prism 3100 includes an intuitive control software, which allows users to efficiently manage the instrument. The software allows users to choose the run parameters, set up protocols, process data, and review results through a single window. It is also able to generate trace files which can be exported for use in other programs. APPLIED BIOSYSTEMS ABI Prism 3100 is an easy-to-use yet powerful DNA sequencer that offers high-resolution results, making it an ideal choice for molecular biology research labs. Its fast sequencing speed, wide range of automated features, and comprehensive software make it an essential tool for a variety of applications.
