Illumina Launches New Reagent Kits for HiSeq X Ten and HiSeq 2500 Systems |
Enhancements Offer Improved Performance for High Throughput Sequencing
For HiSeq X Ten Systems, the HiSeq
X HD v2 Reagent Kit adds flexibility to population-scale human
whole-genome sequencing by supporting an expanded menu of library
preparation options while offering superior data quality and coverage.
The HiSeq X Ten System now supports the TruSeq®
DNA PCR-Free Sample Preparation Kit, which eliminates amplification
during library preparation for industry-best coverage of challenging
genomic regions with a shortened gel-free workflow. The system continues
to support the TruSeq®
Nano DNA Sample Preparation Kit, for efficient sequencing of samples
with limited available DNA. Together, the reagent kits and library
preparation options deliver exceptional genome coverage enabling highly
accurate and comprehensive variant calling while continuing to offer
human whole-genome sequencing at the
“We are excited about the progress and evolution of the HiSeq X Ten
System,” said For HiSeq 2500 Systems, the HiSeq Rapid v2 Reagent Kit allows the generation of 2x250 base pair, paired-end reads and delivers up to 300 gigabases of data in 60 hours using rapid run mode. The expanded read lengths provide researchers with the ability to more accurately identify gene fusions and tackle more complex metagenomics, and de novo assembly projects. Building on the production power of the HiSeq 2500 System, the new reagents further increase the range of sequencing applications available on the platform and create opportunities for innovative studies in agrigenomics, microbial genomics, cancer genomics, and other areas. The enhancements will work on all HiSeq 2500, HiSeq 1500 and upgraded systems.
“The combined read length of the new 2x250 base pair protocol allows for
high confidence identification of taxa in metagenomic analysis. The
sheer amount of data from a single lane will satisfy most sequencing
needs for any microbial community,” said
“The launch of the HiSeq X HD v2 Reagent Kit and HiSeq Rapid v2 Reagent
Kit demonstrates Illumina’s ongoing commitment to improving our core
sequencing technologies and enables our customers to generate the
highest-quality genome sequence data,” said
The HiSeq X HD v2 Reagent Kits and the HiSeq Rapid v2 Reagent Kits will
begin shipping in
