The ultra-high-throughput sequencing system is designed for large population genome projects and high-volume multi-omics studies. A single instrument produces 1 TB to 6 TB of data per day, which lowers the per-sample cost of large sequencing projects.
DNA nanoballs (DNBs) are generated by rolling-circle amplification and loaded onto a patterned flow cell. Because every copy in a DNB is made from the original circular template, the approach reduces PCR amplification bias and keeps duplication rates low, which supports accurate variant detection.

The benchtop sequencing system brings DNA nanoball sequencing to a standard laboratory bench. It is designed for low- to mid-throughput runs, with simple reagent logistics, straightforward operation and short run times, and suits smaller projects that need a fast turnaround.
The system accepts both large (FCL) and small (FCS) flow cells, so small research projects can start without waiting to be batched with other samples. A built-in touch screen guides the operator through each run, and dry-format reagents simplify pipetting as well as transport and storage.
