Easy-to-use data collection software

The data collection software pre-installed on the on-board touch screen computer takes user-friendliness to a new level. It offers an intuitive dashboard design, simplified plate set-up, and embedded self-help videos for common operations so that new users can get up and running quickly.

Scheduling flexibility

Four-plate capacity, continuous plate loading, and urgent sample reprioritization provide both the largest mid-throughput capacity and complete scheduling flexibility, translating into extra time in your day.

Remote functionality

Our cloud-based Connect platform provides enhanced flexibility by allowing users to set up plate files, monitor instrument and consumables performance and run progress, and even perform some critical instrument functions from anywhere.

Stay connected to your data

The SeqStudio 8 Flex system offers an automated workflow to obtain and share results from existing secondary analysis applications on Connect. These web-based software applications include Peak Scanner, Microsatellite Analysis, NGS Confirmation, Quality Check and Variant Analysis. They are compatible with Mac and PC.

Peace of mind with Smart service

Minimize downtime with premium service offerings for the SeqStudio 8 Flex Genetic Analyzer. Smart Help allows users to contact technical support directly from the touchscreen, without the need to download files or spend time on the phone. Experienced technicians will analyze the request and respond according to the user’s preference (phone or email) and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Smart Remote Support is an immersive collaboration tool that allows customers to show issues quickly and efficiently to technical support for resolution, helping reduce instrument downtime and minimize the need for on-site visits.

High application versatility

Simple workflows, reliable assays and reagents, and intuitive software are available for a broad range of applications, including multiplexed PCR analysis, next-generation confirmation, species identification, STR genotyping, cell-line authentication, dsDNA quality control, plasmid sequencing, and genome editing analysis.

Results you can trust

Well-to-well and instrument-to-instrument data accuracy is achieved with the proven Applied Biosystems capillary electrophoresis technology.

Service plans help protect your investment

• Maximize system uptime with fast repair turnaround time from manufacturer-trained and certified field service engineers (FSEs)
• Extend the life of your instrument and help keep it running at peak performance with annual maintenance service

During the annual maintenance, the FSE will update the software, if required; clean, lubricate, and align relevant parts and optical systems; and perform functional tests while documenting tasks, results, and findings.
