When determining the best sequencing platform for your lab, you’ll want to ask the right questions to evaluate your needs. These include:
Use this checklist as a framework. For detailed insight on the factors to consider in each area, download the full NGS System Buyer’s Guide.
Download Buyer’s GuideIllumina NGS instruments have been adopted by leading institutions around the globe, both big and small, and are the production platform for many genome centers. Illumina NGS technology is cited in over 300,000 peer-reviewed publications—5× more than all other NGS technologies combined*
Each sequencing platform delivers exceptional data quality and performance, with flexible throughput and simple, streamlined workflows—for every kind of researcher, for every scale of study.
*Data calculations on file, Illumina, Inc. 2022.
Illumina has pioneered major advances in sequencing simplicity, flexibility, and platform performance. Sequencing output has grown over ten thousand-fold, from less than 1 gigabase to 16 terabases per run, while the number of reads has increased from millions to tens of billions. Experiments that once required complex workflows now use simple push-button sequencing.
