Applied Biosystems 3730 DNA Analyzer

This Applied Biosystems 3730 DNA Analyzer is a used high throughput capillary electrophoresis system built for large scale Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis projects. With a forty-eight capillary array, it is designed for core sequencing facilities, genome centers, and contract research organizations that need to process significant sample volumes efficiently while maintaining high data quality across runs. The 3730 supports a wide range of applications including de novo sequencing, resequencing, SNP genotyping, and microsatellite analysis, drawing on established Applied Biosystems capillary electrophoresis chemistry that many labs have relied on for years. Its automated sample handling and long capillary array reduce the operator time required per sample, making it a practical choice for facilities running continuous sequencing workloads across multiple projects. Offered here as a used unit, this 3730 DNA Analyzer is well suited to core labs, academic genome centers, and commercial sequencing service providers seeking to add proven high throughput Sanger sequencing capacity at a lower cost than new instrumentation. It remains a relevant workhorse for applications where long, high quality read lengths from Sanger sequencing are preferred over short-read next-generation methods. A capillary array performance check is recommended before returning the unit to full production sequencing.
