System Description
The instrument features two distinct components: the HiScan Reader—a high-performance scanner, and the SQ Module—an add-on fluidics device that enables genomic-scale sequencing. The HiScan Reader functions independently as a high-speed, precision microarray scanner for Illumina's BeadArray products. With the SQ Module, the system rapidly switches to perform Illumina's sequencing by synthesis chemistry, the world's most widely adopted next-generation sequencing technology.
The synergistic application of both microarray and sequencing technologies provides a powerful approach to genetic discovery and validation, enabling a broad-range of applications and the potential for unlimited discovery.
