CEQ™ 8800 Genetic Analysis System

Building on more than a decade of innovative leadership in laboratory automation and capillary electrophoresis technology, the CEQ 8800 introduces a new level of capability in genetic analysis systems over traditional DNA electrophoresis. Integrated with our robust software and chemistries, it delivers specialized and efficient tools that provide continuous, high-confidence results, which puts you on the fast lane to discovery.

The CEQ 8800 is flexible enough to adapt to a broad spectrum of applications, yet easily accessible to a wide range of users.

• De Novo DNA Sequencing
• Heterozygote Detection
• Mutation Analysis
• AFLP® Fingerprinting
• SNP Scoring
• Allele Identification

The CEQ 8800 utilizes dual plates and sample tracking technology to provide an advanced, industry-leading genetic analysis solution. The result is a fully-automated, high-resolution system that adapts well to daily workflow changes in sample type and complexity.

	The CEQ 8800 Genetic Analysis System has the ability to process and track samples in two 96-well plates. An array of eight capillaries takes full advantage of the 96-well plate format, while reducing the cost and complexity associated with larger arrays. Samples are automatically denaturated on-line prior to electrokinetic injection.
	An integrated bar code reader enables accurate sample tracking and reporting. It also lets you create CEQ sample setup with automated liquid handlers such as the Biomek® series automated laboratory workstation.
	Because the gel is automatically loaded into the capillary array, you're assured of a consistent gel matrix for every run. The modular 20 ml gel cartridge are easily replaced.
	For sample preparation, the Biomek series liquid handlers, as well as Allegra™ and Avanti® series centrifuges are fully compatible with the CEQ 8800.
	On-column, laser-induced fluorescence with auto capillary alignment ensures sensitive and reliable detection. Long-life diode lasers are used to excite infrared dyes, providing higher sensitivity at a fraction of the cost of argon ion lasers.
