Illumina Novaseq Platform
NovaSeq 6000
Introduced by Illumina in January 2017, the NovaSeq Sequencer provides tremendous scalability and flexibility to accommodate diverse applications and project sizes, for virtually any sequencing method, genome, and scale of project. The NovaSeq sequencer extends applications previously unavailable on HiSeq X Ten, such as expression profiling, whole transcriptome analysis, microbial genome, WES, low pass WGS, etc., while accommodating rapid turnaround, flexible configurations and cost effectiveness. The addition of these NovaSeq sequencers not only expands Unigenom sequencing capacity, but also greatly reduces our sequencing turnaround time. With the NovaSeq, we are able to sequence up to 48 human whole genomes and produce 6Tb of data per single run as short as 40 hours.
System specifications:
850G raw data per lane, 3.4T raw data per Flowcell and 2 x 150 bp read length;
800M raw reads per Flowcell and 2 x 250 bp & 2 x 50 bp reads length;
Nanopore Platform
Nanopore PromethION
Oxford Nanopore Technologies offers real-time, long-read, direct and large-scale sequencing of DNA or RNA.
PACBIO SEQUEL PLATFORM
Pacbio Sequel
The PacBio Sequel System is the SMRT sequencing platform that provides ultra-long sequencing reads with high consensus accuracy, uniform coverage, and simultaneous epigenetic characterization at single-molecule resolution. The PacBio Sequel System provides 7x more throughput, more scalability, and lower sequencing costs than the PacBio RS II System, while maintaining the same benefits.
Ion Torrent™
Ion GeneStudio™ S5 Plus System
The Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus System is a semiconductor-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) system that enables simple targeted sequencing workflows. From genes to exomes, the Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus System is designed to enable flexibility to help labs manage small and large projects across multiple applications. With cartridge-based reagents, the system is simple to use and offers scalability and flexibility. It uses Ion 5 Series chips to support a broad range of high-throughput sequencing for clinical research and research applications from microbial genomes and gene panels to exomes and transcriptomes.
Key features:
• Select the chip (Ion 510–550 chip) that fits your application and throughput needs to achieve from 2–130 million reads per run
• Reduce setup time and complexity with cartridge-based plug-and-play reagents
• Complete run and analysis in hours and move forward with your experiments
Genexus from Thermofisher Scientific
Genexus from Thermofisher Scientific
The Ion Torrent Genexus System is the first turnkey next-generation sequencing (NGS) solution that automates the specimen-to-report workflow and delivers results in a single day with just two user touchpoints. The system requires only extracted nucleic acid to start the process that also in very less amount. The system is configured in a way so that it can completely prepare library and perform sequencing run in just 24 hours whereas complete analysis and report generation takes extra 5-6 hours. Genexus is capable of delivering sample to report in fully automated manner and caters for all targeted disease panels available from Thermofisher scientific.
The Genexus System consists of a purification system and an integrated sequencer, combining and automating nucleic acid extraction and purification, library preparation, sequencing, and analysis reporting under a single software ecosystem*. This reduces the number of instruments and consumables required and free your time for more technical applications, boosting your lab’s overall efficiency. Its minimal user touch points, lower user variability, increases reproducibility of results.
