This facility has two automated capillary array based DNA Sequencers (Model 3730) from M/s Applied Biosystems, USA for analyzing fluorescently labeled DNA molecules. During the year, the facility was updated with another DNA Sequencer (Model 3730xl) for highthroughput applications.

The systems are capable of sequencing 96/48 samples simultaneously, using 96/48 capillary arrays. Both sequencing and genotyping can be carried out in the same capillary arrays. The different sizes of capillary arrays i.e. 36 & 50 cm provide read lengths ranging from 500 bp to 800 bp. The integrated built in Auto sampler, sample plate stacker and bar code reader provides full automation and easy sample tracking.

Software like Sequence analysis, Genotyper, SeqScape, Auto Assembler etc are also available in this facility.
