Illumina's NovaSeq 6000 stands as the latest breakthrough in ultra-high throughput NGS sequencing instrumentation. This dual flow cell instrument is meticulously designed to function with four patterned flow cell formats, offering an impressive total sequence data output ranging from 0.08 Tb to 6 Tb. The NovaSeq is adaptable, supporting the use of the more cost-effective SBS v1.5 chemistry and providing the option for an XP Chemistry upgrade, enabling independent lane addressment. This scalable functionality empowers the Genomics Enterprise Center to address the requirements of a diverse array of sequencing projects, spanning from RNA-seq to Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). Leveraging Illumina's proven SBS chemistry technology, the NovaSeq ensures superior run times and simplifies operation through RFID-encoded, cartridge-based reagent management.
