  • "Lab scale" NSG sequencers

    Illumina and Roche have just launched their "Junior", small-scale versions of their sequencers, both at about $150K. How long till other players do the same? (e.g. PacBio, IonT, Solid). How likely is it to end up having buyer's remorse 6 months down the road if buying one of those now?

    Insider info anyone?
    Hi there

    Ion Torrent is already cheaper than the number you cite; somewhere in the neighborhood of $70K-$80K for a complete kit.

    SOLiD is another platform from LIFE; they are clearly deprioritizing investment in it in favor of Ion Torrent & I doubt you'll see something small on that line. PacBio technology is probably too challenging to scale down.

    PinPoint Mini from Intelligent Biosystems is probably the next instrument of this class to show up. GnuBio also wants to play in this space.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
