Sequencing and genomics platforms for review

Platform names often cover several generations and configurations. Start with the exact model, then include the computer, installed options and supporting workflow equipment.

01 / Equipment scope

Sequencing platforms

Include the precise model generation for Illumina, PacBio or Oxford Nanopore equipment. Describe the main system and accessories without assuming a service contract or account can transfer with it.

Useful details: Exact model; generation; installed options; computer; current status.

02 / Equipment scope

Capillary genetic analysis

For genetic analyzers such as Applied Biosystems 3500 and 3730 families, identify the exact variant and the available workstation. Include known faults and the most recent use.

Useful details: Model variant; configuration; workstation; accessories; last use.

03 / Equipment scope

PCR and sample quality control

List qPCR, digital PCR, thermal cyclers and nucleic-acid QC equipment by model. Identify blocks, modules and available accessories rather than grouping several different instruments under one platform name.

Useful details: Model; blocks or modules; accessories; software details.

04 / Equipment scope

Library preparation and automation

For liquid handlers and preparation stations, identify the base system, installed devices and removable deck hardware. Mark anything your laboratory intends to retain.

Useful details: Base platform; deck configuration; installed devices; controller.

An enquiry is a review, not an automatic offer

Suitability depends on the individual model, configuration, condition and proposed scope. Tell us what is known and what needs checking. The categories on this page describe equipment we consider; they are not a claim that every instrument can be purchased.
