Booth #1023

Join us at ASM Microbe 2025

To unravel the complexities of the microbial world, cutting-edge sequencing is needed.

Join us at ASM Microbe to discover how highly accurate long- and short-read sequencing from PacBio allows you to uncover insights into microbial communities and their functions and obtain more complete microbial genomes and antimicrobial resistance characterization.

Stop by our booth #1023 to chat with PacBio staff and have your questions answered, see live demos of our Revio and Vega sequencing systems, participate in our scavenger hunt for prizes, enter our daily drawing to win headphones, listen to our in-booth presentations (for more prizes), sign up for free full-length 16S sequencing at Zymo Research, and learn more about applying for the 2025 Microbiome SMRT Grant program.

We are excited to learn about your sequencing projects and research. 

Booth hours:

Friday, June 20, 2025: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Saturday, June 21, 2025: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Sunday, June 22, 2025: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
