NimaPOP™-4 for 3130, 3500 and SeqStudio™ Flex

The end of the year is a natural moment to review the suppliers you will rely on next year.  For laboratories performing Sanger sequencing or fragment analysis by capillary electrophoresis, the separation polymer is one of the key choices. If you are looking for an alternative polymer, NimaPOP™-4 is a ready-to-use option that is already widely used in various applications. It helps you maintain confidence in your sequencing and fragment analysis workflows while improving cost efficiency. 

NimaPOP™-4 available in different formats to match your instrument workflow. 

• 3500, 3500xL and SeqStudio™ Flex: RFID-tagged click-in pouches for 384 or 960 samples, ready to use and compatible with all Data Collection Software versions. The RFID tag allows the instrument to recognize the pouch in the same way it recognizes the original consumable.
• 3130 and 3130xl: 5 mL and 10 mL bottles. Reagents and service for the 3130 series were discontinued by the original manufacturer in 2022, and NimaGen continues to supply polymer so these instruments can stay in use. 

NimaPOP™-4 can be used without any change in run protocols. You replace the pouch or bottle and continue with the run modules you already use. NimaPOP™ 10x Running Buffer is available for the same instruments.   

Instructions for use: 3500 series and SeqStudio™ Flex · 3130 series. 

We offer test samples of NimaPOP™-4 for the 3500 series, SeqStudio™ Flex and the 3130 series, so you can run it on your own instrument before you decide. For the 3500 series and SeqStudio™ Flex, the sample comes as an RFID-tagged pouch. Choose your sample in the section below and our team will contact you to confirm the format and shipment. 

Running Sanger sequencing or other applications? NimaPOP™-6 and NimaPOP™-7 are available in the same formats, and NimaPOP™-7 also for the 3730 series. See the NimaPOP™ overview.
