Exon array and SNP Reader. The GCS 3000 7G combines space-saving and other design improvements with speed, superior performance and lower scanner-to-scanner variation to dramatically improve throughput and efficiency in your genetic analysis. The GCS 3000 7G also provides enhanced auto-focus and more consistent scanner-to-scanner biological performance to improve data integrity and data sharing between researchers. No other scanner can read the Exon array chips that we are currently using. In addition the GCS 3000 7G has been designed to accommodate future advancements in GeneChip® probe array technology. Combined with the GeneChip® AutoLoader, the GCS 3000 7G provides sample tracking, temperature control and walk-away freedom from scanning.
