The Genome Sequencer FLX Instrument, powered by GS FLX Titanium and Standard series reagents, features a groundbreaking combination of long reads, exceptional accuracy and high throughput. The breadth of applications, including de novo sequencing, resequencing of whole genomes and target DNA regions, metagenomics and RNA analysis have resulted in hundreds of peer-reviewed publications to date.

System Benefits

• Obtain more comprehensive data. Generate more than 1,000,000 individual reads with improved Q20 read length of 400 bases per 10-hour instrument run
• Expand your project capabilities. Harness the power of DNA sequencing for your complete genome project with one versatile system. Combine long single reads and Long-Tag Paired end reads to completely assemble genomes-often within a single run.
• Reduce your cost per result. Ultra-high throughput delivers the data you need at an affordable price while longer reads reduce over-sampling requirements, keeping data requirements manageable. Benefit from flexible sample-loading options that support various throughput and experimental design needs, enabling efficient use of reagents and consumables.
• Increase your productivity. Streamline library preparation of genomics samples and eliminate the laborious tasks of cloning and colony picking - genomic libraries are constructed in hours in a single tube.
• Driving results, not the accumulation of data files. Perform data analysis without the need for enterprise scale IT solutions with the included easy-to-use software tools - GS De Novo Assembler, GS Reference Mapper, and GS Amplicon Variant Analyzer*. Straightforward interpretation of data means faster discovery of biologically meaningful results.
