CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS Clinical trial for 510(k) clearance The 3500 and 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzers CS2 CO19459 Molokai- Instrument prelaunch brochure.indd 1
The next step in molecular medicine 3500 Dx Genetic Analyzers The Applied Biosystems capillary electrophoresis platforms are the industry standard, providing the most reliable, efficient, and widely published technology for DNA sequence analysis. Sequence-based analysis methods play an increasingly important contribution in the evolution of molecular medicine. A clinical trial to evaluate the 3500 Dx Series Genetic Analyzers, SeCore HLA typing kits, and utype Dx analysis software began in March 2011 in US-based sites. By completing clinical trials and pursuing 510(k) clearance of the 3500xL Dx Genetic Analyzer and SeCore kits, Life Technologies will demonstrate the utility of capillary electrophoresis Genetic Analyzer and sequence-based assays as powerful tools in the molecular diagnostic laboratory. We anticipate filing for 510(k) clearance in the third quarter of 2011. The Applied Biosystems 3500 Dx Series Genetic Analyzers already received the CE-IVD mark in 2009 and are available for sale in selected countries in Europe and Asia.

Improved instrument design delivers maximum performance The 3500 Dx Series is setting a new standard in capillary electrophoresis integrating a number of platform improvements for the optical and thermal subsystems, and pioneering an innovative consumables system approach. The system features an advanced long-life solid-state laser, which reduces the physical and environmental footprint of the system as well as the cost of ownership. The 3500 Dx System operates using standard power outlets, facilitating plug-in-and-go operation. And the laser generates less heat than previous designs, eliminating the need for heat-ducting infrastructure in the laboratory. Moreover, these features minimize the overall dimensions of the instrument, providing maximum performance while occupying minimal laboratory space.
