It delivers gold-standard Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis data quality with increased flexibility, easier operation, and cloud connectivity to enable researchers to manage their workloads and work/life balance effectively. Designed for ultimate ease-of-use, this mid-throughput system offers high quality, excellent reliability, and an optimal user experience for researchers who want to work smarter in the lab.

Features of the SeqStudio 8 Flex Genetic Analyzer include:
• Space savings with true standalone operation; setup, start, monitor, and analyze directly on the touchscreen
• Improve workload management with continuous plate loading and sample reprioritization
• Realize lab efficiencies with remote monitoring
• New, improved capillary arrays for simple and hassle-free handling
• Reduce downtime with integrated remote troubleshooting tools

Easy-to-use data collection software
The data collection software pre-installed on the on-board touch screen computer takes user-friendliness to a new level. It offers an intuitive dashboard design, simplified plate set-up, and embedded self-help videos for common operations so that new users can get up and running quickly.

Scheduling flexibility
Four-plate capacity, continuous plate loading, and urgent sample reprioritization provide both the largest mid-throughput capacity and complete scheduling flexibility, translating into extra time in your day.

Remote functionality
Our cloud-based Connect platform provides enhanced flexibility by allowing users to set up plate files, monitor instrument and consumables performance and run progress, and even perform some critical instrument functions from anywhere.

Stay connected to your data
The SeqStudio 8 Flex system offers an automated workflow to obtain and share results from existing secondary analysis applications on Connect. These web-based software applications include Peak Scanner, Microsatellite Analysis, NGS Confirmation, Quality Check and Variant Analysis. They are compatible with Mac and PC.

Peace of mind with Smart service
Minimize downtime with premium service offerings for the SeqStudio 8 Flex Genetic Analyzer. Smart Help allows users to contact technical support directly from the touchscreen, without the need to download files or spend time on the phone. Experienced technicians will analyze the request and respond according to the user’s preference (phone or email) and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Smart Remote Support is an immersive collaboration tool that allows customers to show issues quickly and efficiently to technical support for resolution, helping reduce instrument downtime and minimize the need for on-site visits.

High application versatility
Simple workflows, reliable assays and reagents, and intuitive software are available for a broad range of applications, including multiplexed PCR analysis, next-generation confirmation, species identification, STR genotyping, cell-line authentication, dsDNA quality control, plasmid sequencing, and genome editing analysis.

Upgrade capabilities when you need them
The SeqStudio 8 Flex Genetic Analyzer can be seamlessly upgraded to a SeqStudio 24 Flex Genetic Analyzer by a field service engineer to provide additional throughput as your workload increases.

Results you can trust
Well-to-well and instrument-to-instrument data accuracy is achieved with the proven Applied Biosystems capillary electrophoresis technology.
