3500 Series Genetic Analyzer for Human Identification
The gold standard for human identification
The Applied Biosystems 3500 Series instruments were the first genetic analyzers designed with a specific feature set and workflow for human identification (HID) applications. The complete system combines the instrument with Applied Biosystems reagents, consumables, and software, as well as industry-leading support—providing an integrated HID solution that significantly improves ease of use and application efficiency.
GlobalFiler PCR amplification kits*
Around the world, forensic labs are being asked to do more with less. That’s why the GlobalFiler, GlobalFiler IQC, and GlobalFiler Express PCR Amplification Kits combine reduced amplification time with exceptional data recovery power.

Key features of the 3500 Series genetic analyzers
We have enhanced our gold-standard 3500 Series instruments and GeneMapper ID-X software solutions in response to customers' need to decrease data analysis time, increase confidence in their results, allow for a more efficient processing workflow, and comply with ever-changing IT requirements. Combined with our STR kits, the improved 3500 data collection software v4.0 and GeneMapper ID-X Software v1.6 offer an efficient workflow.
- Improved data interpretation—Reduced pull-up edits, improved first-pass success rate for database labs, more efficient data transfer to probabilistic genotyping
- Enhanced user experience—flexible plate loading, streamlined workflow, support languages, 6-dye installation standard
- IT support and compliance—Windows 10 support, CODIS compatibility, internationalization
More features:
- The innovative “snap-in-and-go” consumable design uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to track and record key consumables data.
- The HID-specific workflow preconfigured for Applied Biosystems™ STR kits simplifies run setup and software navigation.
- Powerful, integrated data collection and QC analysis software provides real-time assessment of data quality and streamlined STR analyses, allowing for more efficient management of re-injections.
- An advanced long-life solid-state laser reduces the physical footprint of the system, eliminating the need for heat-ducting and requiring only a standard-voltage plug.
