Empowering even more discoveries: XLEAP-SBS chemistry coming H1 2024

Achieve the next level of scale, cost efficiencies, and sequencing capabilities on NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 Sequencing Systems. Coming in the first half of 2024, XLEAP-SBS Chemistry on existing kits (P1/P2/P3) and a new P4 flow cell will offer 1.7B reads and allow for 500 Gb of genomic data.

 

"Using the NextSeq 2000 instrument has put our laboratory [into] a completely different league. The higher throughput and faster turnaround time made it possible for us to generate our results and reports much faster and [in] a more comprehensive way."

- Dr Csaba Bodor,
Semmelweis University,
Hungary

 

NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 are the only benchtop sequencers with integrated, onboard analysis—at no extra cost

With the NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 onboard DRAGEN software, labs can reduce the need for additional computing infrastructure and bioinformatics resources. And with decreased data analysis complexity, researchers can efficiently find key insights in large data sets.

  • 3x reduction in touchpoints for analysis data with BaseSpace

  • 6x faster on-board secondary analysis than Local Run Manager

  • 10+ pipelines that support a wide variety of experiment types

  • 80% less energy for a more sustainable workplace

  • Up to 5x decrease in data footprint possible with ORA Compression
