The CEQ™ 8000 Genetic Analysis System is a fully automated, high-throughput sequencing and genotyping/fragment analysis systems. Capillary electrophoresis technology and laser-induced fluorescence detection have been combined to provide a very easy-to-use microplate-based system. The CEQ 8000 is designed to handle all aspects of the DNA analysis process from sample denaturation through automatic base- or allele-calling, with no user intervention, following an easy 2-minute setup. In a single setup with one gel and one capillary array within the same plate, short templates are sequenced rapidly, long templates are sequenced faster with high quality reads, DNA fragments are sized accurately and precisely, and analyzed quantitatively with high sensitivity and reproducibility.
