Simple, fast, low-throughput Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis system
The Applied Biosystems SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer is a low-throughput, easy-to-use, and convenient benchtop system that delivers gold-standard Sanger sequencing technology and fragment analysis by capillary electrophoresis with a simple click. Just load your samples, click in the innovative all-in-one cartridge, and go.
The SeqStudio instrument is easy to use across a broad range of applications, including de novo, targeted, and plasmid Sanger sequencing, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing confirmation, cell line authentication, and detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Setup is simple and you will be ready to go in minutes. The SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer offers data quality, usability, service, and support at an affordable price.
Need higher throughput? Like the SeqStudio instrument, our SeqStudio Flex Genetic Analyzer is an easy-to-use, flexible system for Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis, but with higher throughput.
