The highly anticipated NovaSeq S4 flow cell delivers up to 6TB of output in two days and is ideally suited for high intensity sequencing applications. Users can now sequence up to 48 human genomes or 384 exomes per run in less than 48 hours. This innovation paves the way for large-population-scale initiatives at the lowest price per sample, and enables labs to cost effectively perform human whole genome sequencing.
“Our experience using the NovaSeq has exceeded our already high expectations,” said David B. Goldstein, Ph.D., Director of the
The NovaSeq Xp workflow comprises the NovaSeq Xp flow cell loading dock and reagents. The new appliance enables users to load libraries directly into individual lanes of the flow cells, further enhancing the flexibility of the system. Users can now partition samples and projects by lane, enabling more efficient use of flow cell whether mixing library types or implementing novel approaches to sample indexing.
“We continue to deliver on our roadmap, bringing new, innovative products to the genomics market. The S4 flow cell, coupled with our recent launch of the IDT Unique Dual Indexes (UDIs) and our new
“We expect the NovaSeq Series to continue to drive sequencing towards higher intensity applications, higher depths of coverage, and larger study sizes to properly power experiments. We believe that the release of the S4 flow cell will accelerate this trend,” said
The NovaSeq S4 flow cells are shipping immediately while the NovaSeq Xp workflow components are expected to ship before the end of the year. For more information, please visit www.illumina.com/novaseq.
