i) Capillary electrophoresis instrument. ii) Eight (8) capillary (3500 System) or twenty-four (24) capillary (3500XL System) array and polymer. iii) DNA sequencing and/or fragment analysis reagents and consumables for system qualification. iv) Integrated software for instrument control, data collection, quality control, and auto-analysis of sample files for base calling and fragment sizing. v) System consumables: Primary consumables contain novel, integrated radio frequency identification (RFID)-tagged labels that enable viewing, tracking, and reporting of critical information: (1) Capillary Array(s) – eight (8) or twenty-four (24) capillary models. (2) Performance Optimized Polymer(s). (3) Cathode Buffer Container(s). (4) Anode Buffer Container(s) vi) Solid-state 505 nm excitation laser technology and thermal design minimizes instrument footprint. vii) No need for excess heat-removal ducting. viii) Security, audit and electronic signature capability to help compliance with governing regulations. ix) Flexible enough to allow TPWD to adhere to the lab's development requirements, such as sequencing or fragment analysis applications.
