NovaSeq X Plus – when throughput and costs matter
This Illumina instrument is versatile and ideal for numerous sequencing applications, from whole genome sequencing and gene assembly to resequencing, SNP detection, and metagenomics. It allows you to analyze full genomes, from any species (humans, plants, mouse, bacteria, viruses) in record time. This system is capable of running more than 128 genomes per run and is purposely designed to be efficient, reliable and sustainable.
PacBio Revio – reveal more with accurate lon-read sequencing at scale
This instrument gives researchers interested in transcriptomics or epigenetic studies the ability to sequence full length transcripts or identify methylated bases very accurately. It can read up to ~25 kb with high accuracy (HiFi). Combined with Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing, it is a powerful tool for analyzing variable number tandem repeats, or for repeat occurrence with disease significance, such as in Huntington’s disease.
Ion GeneStudio S5 – for gene panels tailored to specific disease areas
This machine has purpose in multiple areas, including cancer research, inherited diseases, microbial and infectious disease. It can accommodate 2 runs per day and provide you with data within a few days. This makes the platform ideal for clinical research and research applications.
ONT PromethION – Long Read with real time analysis
Nanopore sequencing involves reading the DNA or RNA code as molecules pass through nanopores embedded in a membrane. This technology enables direct sequencing without the need for PCR and offers scalable chemistry suitable for both small and large formats. ONT supports a wide range of applications, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), epigenetics, targeted sequencing, and transcriptomics.
