Polymers, buffers, and consumables for capillary electrophoresis on ABI sequencing instruments
When you run ABI capillary instruments for Sanger sequencing or fragment analysis, this section covers POP-4 and POP-6 polymers, running buffers, and sample-loading consumables. Polymer quality and lot consistency drive CE separation quality.
Pick polymer by application and instrument.
- Polymer choice. POP-4 for fragment analysis with separation of short fragments. POP-6 for higher-resolution Sanger sequencing.
- Instrument compatibility. Each polymer matched to specific ABI instrument models (310, 3130, 3500, 3730).
- Caveat. Use the polymer specified by the manufacturer; mismatched polymer degrades separation quality.
- Storage. Verify storage stability.
