Thermo Fisher, A41331, SeqStudio™ Cartridge v2

SeqStudio™ Cartridge v2 is designed for capillary-electrophoresis sequencing and fragment analysis on the SeqStudio Genetic Analyzer. The self-contained four-capillary cartridge integrates the capillary array, polymer-delivery system, universal polymer, anode buffer and pump required for electrophoretic separation. One cartridge supports up to 250 injections or 1000 reactions or samples, allowing both Sanger sequencing and fragment-analysis applications to be run with the same consumable. The capillary length is 28 cm. An RFID tag allows the instrument to track remaining use and expiration, reducing manual consumable tracking. The cartridge ships with an optical cover and an integrated capillary protector, and the universal polymer supports multiple genetic-analysis applications without exchanging polymer chemistry between sequencing and fragment-analysis runs. Store the cartridge upright at 2–8 °C, and keep off-instrument handling within the recommended time limits before installation. The cartridge is optimized for use with current SeqStudio software and provides an all-in-one format that minimizes fluidic setup, polymer handling and capillary installation while maintaining the consumable components needed for electrophoresis inside a single replaceable unit. The integrated consumable replaces several separately handled components used in conventional capillary instruments. This simplifies startup, reduces manual fluidic connections and gives the SeqStudio instrument one tracked consumable for capillaries, separation polymer and the anode-side electrophoresis fluid path.
