Before starting your project, please ensure that your dye sets are compatible with our Applied Biosystems 3730XL DNA Analyzers.
The dye set best suited for our 3730XL is DS-33, which includes these dyes: 6-FAM, VIC, NED, PET, and LIZ (LIZ Size Standard). Please call us if you must use other dye sets.
To submit your samples, you will need to use a 96 well half skirted or semi skirted PCR plate.
We prefer samples to be submitted in a specific type of plate:
Please provide a minimum of 10 μl of PCR products in HiDi Formamide. Each well should have size standard.
