For Research Use Only
The Applied Biosystems™ 7500 Real-Time PCR System for Human Identification provides an advanced, validated solution for casework, databasing, and paternity applications. This system comes with a Dell Notebook D520 computer.
This instrument system provides the following:
• It is validated for use with the Quantifiler™ Human Quantification and the Quantifiler™ Y Human Male DNA Quantification Systems.
• It utilizes the Quantifiler™ kits to determine the quantity of amplifiable DNA and the potential presence of PCR inhibitors to obtain an accurate prediction of the amount of DNA input required for optimal STR amplification.
• It utilizes the Quantifiler ™ kits to quantify trace samples; real-time PCR has the widest dynamic range of any DNA detection technology.
• It provides Quantfiler™ kit results in less than 2 hours.

Built for Performance
The 7500 system for Human Identification includes SDS v.1.2.3 software which is validated to run Quantifiler™ Human DNA and Quantifiler™ Y Human Male DNA quantification kits. SDS v1.2.3 is a powerful, versatile software that includes plate set-up wizards and automated analysis tools that make data processing easier. Its advanced data viewing capabilities make analysis less time consuming. The instrument is a powerful, five-color platform that is calibrated for the broadest range of dyes available: FAM™⁄SYBR™ Green I, VIC™⁄JOE™, TAMRA™⁄CY3, ROX™⁄Texas Red, and CY5 dyes. Its specialized optical system enables easy and accurate calibration to new dyes without requiring the addition of new filter sets and its advanced multi-componenting algorithm minimizes spectral crosstalk making the instrument superior for multiplexing.
