15× increase in HiFi read throughput

With a high-density, 25 million ZMW SMRT Cell, up to 4 SMRT Cells in parallel, and 24-hour run times3, the Revio system delivers 360 Gb2,5 of HiFi reads per day, equivalent to 1,300 human whole genomes4 per year. ​

The $1,000 complete, phased genome

HiFi sequencing provides small variants, structural variants, repeat expansions, methylation, and haplotype phasing from a single library and sequencing run. ​

50% fewer consumables and a vastly simplified experience

Operating the Revio system is simple, thanks to a combined reagent and sample plate, rapid run setup, flexibility to queue runs while sequencing is in progress, and no external nitrogen supply. ​

Google Health DeepConsensus on board

Advanced algorithms on the Revio system deliver exceptional read accuracy plus methylation calling in every run. Its optimized file formats reduce data storage needs through quality value binning and smart read ordering.

HIFI LEVEL ACCURACY AND DATA QUALITY

The Revio system produces the same — and better — read length, quality, and variant calling performance that have made HiFi sequencing so celebrated.

Read length

HiFi reads are tens of kilobases long, providing the ability to resolve large variants and map to difficult regions of the genome.​

Read and base quality

The Revio system provides reliable answers through exceptional accuracy, with 90% of bases ≥Q30 and median read accuracy ≥Q30.​

Variant calling

HiFi sequencing on the Revio system delivers high accuracy for all variants types, matching the precisionFDA-winning accuracy of the Sequel IIe system.1

Key applications and sample throughput

The Revio system supports a variety of applications that benefit from accurate long HiFi reads. Its four independent stages allow different samples and applications to be sequenced in parallel. A subset of key applications is:

Library Sample Per Revio SMRT Cell

Expected coverageb
1-5 kb Amplicon > 1,000 > 2.6 million 50X
5-10 kb Microbial genome 96 124,800 50X
15-20 kb Human genome 1 1,300 30X
15-20 kb Transcriptome with Kinnex full-length RNA kit 4 5,200 10 million reads
  1. Annual throughput is based on 2,600 Revio SMRT Cells for 12 hour runs; 1,300 for 24 hour runs; and 1,050 for 30 hour runs. Adaptive loading – which increases the consistency of yield per SMRT Cell – adds about 4 hours to run time, affecting the maximum number of SMRT Cells per year. 
  2. Expected coverages are estimates.
