THE EVIDENCE

Beta Results and Data Quality

Identical variant detection accuracy between SMRT Cell uses — validated by beta customers and HG002 benchmarking.

  • We expect that the cost for this project is reduced by about a third because we reused these SMRT Cells for a second acquisition.
    Katy Munson
    University of Washington
  • It was shockingly easy, honestly. We expected more issues than we had. So it was a great experience for us.
    Margaret Gibson
    Children’s Mercy Hospital

Every run includes epigenetics

5mC + 6mA + 5hmC detection included in every HiFi run. No bisulfite conversion, no additional library prep, no extra cost.

THE ECONOMICS

How SPRQ-Nx cuts your cost

SPRQ-Nx chemistry enables SMRT Cell multi-use on the Revio system — running multiple acquisitions on a single cell. Save ~30% on reagent costs with no changes to library prep, hardware, or pipelines.

$345
