• Applications

  • Whole genome sequencing of viruses and small bacteria.

  • Targeted resequencing for specific genomic regions.

  • Metagenomics for microbial diversity analysis.

  • Amplicon sequencing for variant detection.

  • Small RNA and targeted gene expression profiling.

• Key Features

  • Capable of paired-end reads up to 2 × 300 bp.

  • High sequencing accuracy and depth.

  • Supports a range of applications from targeted panels to microbial genomes.

  • Reagents provide up to 15 Gb output with 25 million sequencing reads.

  • Compact benchtop system suitable for research and clinical applications.

• Limitations

  • Limited to small and mid-scale sequencing applications.

  • Not ideal for large-scale whole genome sequencing (WGS) of complex organisms.

  • Requires specialized reagents and sample preparation kits.
