The software generates an electropherogram (intensity plot) for each dye based on the
migration of DNA fragments ov
er the run and generates primary analysis results:
• For sequencing applications, the electropherogram is adjusted to compensate for
slight mobility dierences due to the dyes, then basecalling is performed and
quality values are assigned.
• For fragment and Human Identication (HID) analysis, the software uses the
internal size standard to assign a fragment size and a sizing quality value to each
peak.
Materials for routine operation
All materials for routine operation are provided when the instrument is installed. For
more information:
• See Appendix D, “Catalog numbers“

Instrument consumables handling, usage limits, and expiration
IMPORTANT! Before handling chemicals, read and understand all applicable Safety
Data Sheets (SDSs) and use appropriate personal protectiv
e equipment (gloves,
gowns, eye protection, etc). To obtain SDSs, see “Documentation and support“ on
page 310.
Containers and pouches are ready-to-use. Labels include a radio frequency
identication (RFID) tag that the instrument uses to track usage and expiration date.
For application-specic reagents, consumables, and run modules, see
Appendix B,
“Run modules and dye sets“.
