A platform to meet every need
In-house microbial identification allows you to quickly identify contaminants and develop a plan for correction. The series of SeqStudio genetic analyzers offers a number of options to help meet your throughput requirements. The SeqStudio QST Genetic Analyzer offers a low-throughput platform featuring fast turnaround, ease-of-use, and a convenient all-in-one workflow based on a cartridge system. The SeqStudio Flex PA platform is the preferred system for medium and high throughput requirements. It is available in both 8- and 24- capillary configurations and offers easy-to-use, high sample number loading flexibility.
