Cell ID™ System Panel and Bin Files
To facilitate analysis of data generated with the Cell ID™ System, panel and bin files
are available to allow automatic assignment of genotypes using Applied Biosystems GeneMapper®
ID software, version 3.2 or GeneMapper® software, version 4.0. If you are using
GeneMapper® ID software, version 3.2, complete the Applied Biosystems GeneMapper®
ID Software Human Identification analysis tutorial to familiarize yourself with the proper operation
of the software. For GeneMapper® ID software, version 3.1, users we recommend upgrading
to version 3.2.
Panel and bin set files are text (.txt extension) files that can be imported into
GeneMapper® software. To import panel and bin sets, follow the instructions in section
X.B. of the Cell ID™
System Technical Manual.
To download the panel and bin files, complete the form below. Upon completing the request for
download, the link to the panel and bin files will be provided.
Cell ID™ Custom Bin Generator
Other versions of GeneMapper® Analysis software can be used to analyze Cell ID™ System
data. However, laboratories using other versions must verify that all allelic ladders and positive controls
are called correctly. Panel and bin files must be created specifically for each capillary electrophoresis
instrument and are not interchangeable. The GeneMapper® software, version 4.0, does not
calculate offsets, and subsequently the panel and bin files need to be customized to reflect the actual
migration of fragments on a particular instrument. A custom bin generation tool is available to generate
panel and bin files customized to reflect the migration of fragments on a particular instrument for the
Cell ID™ System. This tool requires data from three analyzed runs of the Cell ID™ Allelic
Ladder provided in the kit. This tool imports the data and uses it to create custom bins which are then
exported as a table as described in the Custom Bin Generator on-line instructions for use in the
GeneMapper® software.
To receive access to the Custom Bin Generator, complete the form below. Upon completing the request,
you will receive confirmation of the request and an e-mail will be sent to you with the link.
