New sequencing technologies and capabilities will accelerate the genomic discoveries and clinical insights needed to transform human health
Revolutionary NovaSeq X Series sets new benchmark for speed, scale, accuracy, and sustainability
SAN DIEGO , Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN ), a global leader in DNA sequencing and array-based technologies, today announced multiple breakthrough sequencing innovations at its inaugural Illumina Genomics Forum:
The launch of NovaSeq™ 6000 Dx as the first FDA-registered and CE-marked in vitro diagnostic (IVD) high-throughput sequencer, delivering the highest standards of compliance and driving actionable insights for patient care. This technology expands the breadth of applications and clinical testing in countries that require IVD products, increasing access to clinical genomics with scalable throughput, while also achieving significant reductions in cost/Gb and total cost of ownership. NovaSeq 6000 Dx is an open platform, with RUO and IVD modes and a dedicated DRAGEN™ server, resulting in flexible, high-quality, automated data processing that will minimize the time and labor required to complete projects.
"Today's announcement of NovaSeq X Series and Illumina's other breakthrough technologies is the culmination of more than five years of development, more than 40 patent filings, and the tenacity and talent of 1500 of the world's most brilliant scientists, engineers, developers, and designers on our team," said Francis deSouza, Illumina's Chief Executive Officer. "I'm thrilled to imagine how our customers, including scientists, researchers, and clinicians, will do more, discover more, and dream bigger as a result of these game-changing innovations. Together, we will usher in the era of the genome and transform human health."
These announcements came on the second day of the inaugural Illumina Genomics Forum, which runs through October 1. For more information, please visit illuminagenomicsforum.com .
