Simple NGS Workflow

The MiSeq System can go from DNA to data in just over 8 hours. A compact, all-in-one platform incorporates cluster generation, paired-end fluidics, sequencing by synthesis chemistry, and data analysis. An intuitive touch screen and plug-and-play reagents with RFID tracking add convenience. The MiSeq System eliminates the need for auxiliary hardware and computing resources, saving valuable lab bench space. Seamless data upload to BaseSpace Sequence Hub enables analysis, collaboration, and security.

User-Friendly, Intuitive Software

System software guides you through sample sheet creation and setup prior to a run, then walks you through flow cell and reagent loading steps. Control software overviews quality statistics you can monitor as the run progresses. Once primary analysis completes, reporting software launches and automatically analyzes the data quality and coverage information of each sample.
