Maximize throughput to unleash your ambitions

The NovaSeq X and NovaSeq X Plus Sequencing Systems deliver extraordinary throughput and accuracy to perform data-intensive applications at production scale.

Built on decades of innovation from a trusted partner in genomics, the NovaSeq X Series will enable your most ambitious ultra-high-throughput projects. These are our most powerful sequencers yet. Scale your studies with three flow cell types and up to 16 Tb output per run on the dual flow cell NovaSeq X Plus System or up to 8 Tb on the single flow cell NovaSeq X System. Ultra-high-density flow cells and ultra-high-resolution optics enable output of up to 26 billion single reads per flow cell.

The NovaSeq X Series is powered by XLEAP-SBS chemistry — an even faster, higher quality, and more robust version of our proven sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry.

XLEAP-SBS chemistry delivers the highest level of data accuracy and performance, and the increased stability enables remarkable sustainability benefits.

DRAGEN analysis, available onboard or in the cloud, provides award-winning accuracy for rapid, easy-to-use, and efficient genomic data analysis.

As integrated into the NovaSeq X Series, DRAGEN onboard can run multiple secondary analysis pipelines in parallel. Perform up to four simultaneous applications per flow cell in a single run.

DRAGEN onboard offers world-class bioinformatics as a direct output from the NovaSeq X Series. Get variant call files instead of base call files directly from your sequencing system. Accelerate your sequencing turnaround time and reduce your data storage, transfer, and retrieval costs.

Unimaginable experiments, made unbelievably cost-efficient

The NovaSeq X Series helps moonshot projects become a reality—making affordable what was previously out of reach. Increase statistical power with broader study designs and larger sample cohorts. Maximize read numbers and increase sequencing depth for a higher resolution view that can detect low-frequency signals and variants.

The NovaSeq X Plus System revolutionizes human whole-genome sequencing, with the ability to sequence more than 128 genomes per run. These production-scale sequencing systems can also perform a broad range of data-intensive applications, from single-cell analysis to exome and circulating tumor DNA sequencing, that will unlock the next wave of omics discovery.
