Illumina NovaSeq 6000
NovaSeq is the latest generation sequencer from Illumina, featuring fastest sequencing speed, highest throughput, greater flexibility and a much simplified workflow. Applications requiring large amounts of data, such as human whole genome sequencing (WGS), ultra-deep exome sequencing, and single-cell genomics can now be completed in a more cost-effective manner. With a duel flow cell run, NovaSeq 6000 can yield up to 20 billion reads (equivalent to 60 human genome) within three days. The new system is considered as the biggest improvement in sequencing technologies for any large scale genome studies.

Illumina NextSeq 500
From Illumina, Illumina's NextSeq 500 is the first desktop high-throughput sequencing system that can perform whole-genome sequencing, exome sequencing and RNA-Seq. With tunable output and industry-leading data quality, the NextSeq Series offers the perfect combination of high-throughput sequencing, flexibility, and accuracy, all at a cost that makes it just right for your lab. New NextSeq reagents enable up to 500 M sequencing reads and 2x150 bp read lengths.

In a single run, NextSeq 500 can sequence up to:

• 80 small RNA sequencing experiments (5 M reads per sample)
• 40 RNA profiling experiments (10 M reads per sample)
• 30 chip-seq experiments (15 M reads per sample)
• 12 transcriptome sequencing experiments (40 M reads per sample)
• 12 exome sequencing experiments (100X on average)
• One human whole genome sequencing (>30X coverage)

epMotion 5075tc
According to Eppendorf, the new epMotion 5075tc automated liquid handling system provides a precise, accurate alternative to time-consuming manual pipetting and liquid handling tasks. The combination of accelerated operational speed, new software and hardware features and an increased number of work table positions make the systems ideal for simple and flexible laboratory use across a wide range of liquid handling applications. With the integrated 2D ThermoMixer module, the epMotion® 5075tc is the one of the most flexible automated pipetting systems. In addition, novel features such as a new CleanCap option, including UV light decontamination and a HEPA filter for purified air, offer new standards of decontamination and sample safety. This is supported even further by an optical sensor that checks labware, liquid levels and tip counts and type at the start of each cycle, hugely decreasing any risk of error during the run.

• Up to 15 work table positions for more complex NGS protocols
• Automatic recognize, exchange, transport plates and labware (stacking of up to five plates)
• Free-jet pipetting: no tubes/wires, no air bubbles to minimize cross contamination
• Excellent pipetting precision: <2% CV at 1 microliter
• 8 channel pipetting with volume range 1-1000 microliter
• IOS 8655 compliance calibrated, with automatic calibration reminder

10X Chromium
Designed for automatic and efficient parallel partitioning and molecular barcoding, the new Chromium platform unlocks critical long-range genomics and cell-by-cell gene expression information.

The system supports the following applications:

• Single cell 3' counting for single cell transcriptomics, which performs deep profiling of complex cell populations (up to 70,000 cells) with high-throughput digital gene expression on a cell-by-cell basis.
• Long range DNA genome/exome sequencing, which provides long-range information for phasing structural variant detection and copy number determination on a genome/exome-wide scale. This enables identification of critical variants and discovery of key alterations, including those located at low-complexity and repetitive regions previously missed with short-read sequencing, inheritable disorders as well as in cancer.
• De novo sequencing, which builds true diploid de novo assemblies with >10 Mb scaffold size and long-range accuracy by unlocking sample-specific sequence and producing diploid genome structure for human and non-human genomes for agricultural and environmental applications.

Fluidigm C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep system
The C1 system is based on innovative microfluidic technology that enables rapid and reliable isolation, processing and profiling of individual cells for genomic analysis. The instrument isolates single cells into individual reaction chambers in an integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) chip. The optically clear IFC enables researchers to automatically stain captured cells and examine them by microscopy for viability, surface markers or reporter genes. After staining, cells are automatically lysed and template is quickly prepared for qPCR and RNA-Seq, or whole-genome amplification and downstream exome sequencing analysis.

• The system is expandable: Run new chemistry or applications by modifying existing scripts, or purchase or develop custom applications.
• The latest collection of new single-cell applications includes mRNA sequencing, epigenetics, DNA sequencing, cell staining and more.
