Applied Biosystems 3500 Dx Series Genetic Analyzer (CE-IVD, IVDR)
Accurate. Simple. Flexible.
The 3500-Series Genetic Analyzers are Now IVDR-Compliant
We have recently updated our acclaimed Applied Biosystems 3500 and 3500 xL Dx Genetic analyzers to comply with the IVDR.
Clients previously frustrated that these powerful devices were not available in the European Union can breathe easy knowing that their new IVDR-compliant Applied Biosystems Genetic Analyzer is only an order away.
The Applied Biosystems 3500 Dx series genetic analyzers with 3500 Dx Series Data Collection Software 3 IVD v3.0.1 deliver flexibility by offering dual-mode capability within the same system to help meet the needs of today and tomorrow. This system is CE-IVD, IVDR compliant.
The secure Diagnostic Mode supports run modules that will perform both Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis.
To accommodate various demands on throughput, we offer two models*: the 8-capillary 3500 system for low throughput and 24-capillary 3500xL system for medium throughput, giving you even more flexibility to meet your lab's throughput needs.

Overview of the 3500 Dx Genetic Analyzer (CE-IVD, IVDR)
It's accurate
The 3500 Dx Series Genetic Analyzers, using Sanger sequencing, are designed to deliver the accuracy you demand.
It's simple. It works the way you do.
Designed with you in mind, the 3500 Dx Genetic Analyzer gives you automated operation, easy-to-install consumables, electronic tracking of instrument performance and maintenance tasks, and integrated analysis software—so you can focus on the outcome.
It's flexible
The system comes in an 8-capillary version (3500 Dx) and a 24-capillary version (3500xL Dx) to align with your throughput needs. You can run the instrument in either IVD mode or RUO mode to develop other applications.
It's backed by award-winning support
Keeping your lab operational is critical. Our technical and field service support staff respond quickly to your calls, so that you can continue to respond to those who depend on you for results.
Features & benefits
Putting you in the driver's seat
3500 Dx Data Collection Software offers user-friendly navigation and an intuitive dashboard design, including:
- Easy-to-read graphical displays to monitor the state of consumables
- Handy maintenance scheduling calendar
- New architecture simplifies plate setup, data collection, and analysis workflow
Snap in and run
- Primary consumables contain novel integrated radio frequency identification (RFID)-tagged labels that enable viewing, tracking, and reporting of critical information
- Preformulated consumable packages contribute to the overall ease-of-use
- Automatic tracking minimizes administrative tasks and reduces the chance of error or omission
Capillary array
- Capillary array with built-in frame is easy to install
- Internally uncoated capillaries are supplied in assemblies of 8 or 24 capillaries per array
- Integrated RFID label enables viewing, tracking, and reporting of capillary array information
Cathode buffer container
- Pre-filled container with 1X buffer to support all electrophoresis applications
-
Container has two separate compartments:
--Left side contains the cathode buffer
--Right side contains polymer waste from the capillary wash between injections - Integrated RFID label enables viewing, tracking, and reporting of critical information
Anode buffer container
- Pre-filled container with 1X buffer
- Maintains a source of ions and correct pH for electrophoresis
- Integrated RFID label enables viewing, tracking, and reporting of critical information
Performance optimized polymer
- IVD-labeled POP-6 polymer and POP-7 polymer for sequencing and POP-7 polymer for fragment analysis are ready-to-use, load-and-run pouches.
-
Integrated RFID label enables viewing, tracking, and reporting of polymer information
Operates on standard power
The 3500 Dx Series is easy to install and operate:
- Solid-state 505-nm excitation laser technology and thermal design reduces instrument footprint
- Plugs directly into standard power
- No need for excess heat-removal ducting
