GeneChip™ Scanner 3000 7G AutoLoader Carousel

The GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G AutoLoader Carousel is designed for use with the GeneChip Autoloader, which now comes pre-assembled with the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. The Autoloader allows maximum throughput and walk-away automation of the GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G in a tempature-controlled environment.

Temperature-controlled Environment
The GeneChip AutoLoader provides a temperature-controlled environment to maintain long-term sample stability and integrity for up to 16 hours. The environment for the 48-sample carousel is maintained at 15°C for all arrays, both pre-and post-scan. Extensive testing on the temperature stability of GeneChip™ arrays has shown that data concordance and assay integrity are maintained for arrays cooled at 15°C for at least 16 hours. High-resolution high-density arrays prepared with Array Holding Buffer are stable for up to 48 hours at 15°C.

48-array carousel for walk-away freedom
The AutoLoader includes a 48-array, removable carousel for unattended loading and unloading of the experiments for complete walk-away automation.

Ease of use
The AutoLoader, with its convenient, user-friendly front-loading position, is designed to maximize ease of operation with a simple user interface. This interface also shows the carousel inventory and experiments completed for a run in progress. The AutoLoader comes with an external handheld barcode reader for easy experiment creation with the information-rich Affymetrix 2D barcode.

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
The AutoLoader can be configured with an optional uninterruptible power supply capable of maintaining the temperature-controlled carousel environment for at least four hours in the event of a power failure.
