DNBSEQ-G400 from MGI is constructed with a new Flow Cell system that has the potential to flexibly aid a range of various sequencing modes. It adopts improved biochemical and optical systems, which could finish the sequencing process quickly, offering users a more streamlined sequencing experience.
Features
- 55 GB~1440 GB per run
- Support data analysis and sequencing in a broad range of areas, which include clinical research, basic research, agriculture, and forensics
- Support a range of read lengths that include PE100, PE150, PE200, PE300, SE50, SE100, SE400
- PE150 (FCS) sequencing at full capacity in just 37 hours

* The percentage of base above Q30 is the average of an internal standard library over the entire run. The actual performance is affected by factors such as sample type, library quality, and insert fragment length.
** Run time is calculated based on dual-slide mode including sample loading, sequencing, base calling, and data processing.
***38h and 56h are the run time after upgrading the latest version
