Applied Biosystems™ MicroSEQ™ ID Microbial Identification Software v3.1.3, with All Software Libraries Kit

Description

MicroSEQ ID Microbial Identification Software v3.1.3 allows you to easily identify and classify unidentified bacterial or fungal sequences by comparing them to a validated microbial library.

This bundle includes the software USB media and license registration code kit, as well as these bacterial and fungal sequence libraries:

• MSID 16S 500 Microbial Library v2019
• MSID Fungal Library v2018
• MSID V2.0 Full Gene Library
• MSID Supplemental Library v2019

Features of MicroSEQ ID Microbial Identification Software and associated sequence libraries include:

• Automatically identify unknown specimens against a validated microbial library of over 3000 microbial sequences
• Run plates directly on Applied Biosystems 3500 Series genetic analyzers
• Equipped with security, audit, and e-signature features to enable 21 CFR Pt. 11 compliance
• Qualification and validation support available

Confidently identify microbes

The MicroSEQ ID sequence libraries consist of bacterial libraries of 500 bp 16S rDNA sequences and approximately 9300 validated entries, including extensive coverage of gram-negative non-fermenters, Bacillus, Coryneforms, Mycobacteria, and Staphylococcus, as well as a fungal library containing more than 1300 entries. To help ensure accurate identification of the species of your sequences, we rigorously validate all library entries. And unlike other widely available databases, MicroSEQ libraries contain only correctly identified organisms and quality-controlled sequences derived from type strains of preeminent culture collections. The libraries also support sequence polymorphisms and include bacterial Category A biothreat agents.

Automatically identify unknown specimens

Reviewing each specimen in a project file to make a manual identification call can be tedious and time consuming. The Auto-ID feature in MicroSEQ ID software uses a set of editable parameters to automatically identify unknown specimens. The results table is displayed in the report, and an editable comments field allows additional information or manual identifications to be entered into the same table.

Run plates on 3500/3500xL instruments directly via the MicroSEQ ID software

Applied Biosystems 3500 Series genetic analyzer users are now able to run plates on these instruments directly via the MicroSEQ ID software v3.1.3 user interface, without needing Auto-analysis Manager. A single software wizard enables you to set up projects, specimens, and plates; adjust the plate layout via drag and drop; start and monitor the run; and review results.

The MicroSEQ system: a complete, integrated solution

Streamlining every step in microbial identification, the MicroSEQ system combines the advantages of MicroSEQ ID software with easy-to-use PrepMan Ultra sample preparation reagents and protocols, MicroSEQ bacterial and fungal application kits, and industry-leading thermal cyclers and sequencing systems. To help ensure optimal performance and system-wide integration, we develop and test all components of the system together. The MicroSEQ ID software also includes security, audit, and electronic signature features enabling the software to smoothly integrate into your workflow.

Qualification and validation support

To help ensure seamless integration into your laboratory, from installation to routine operation, we offer comprehensive installation and operational qualification (IQ/OQ) and validation support services.
