A groundbreaking new sequencer
The Onso system is an innovative benchtop short-read DNA sequencing platform with an extraordinary level of accuracy using PacBio sequencing by binding (SBB) technology. Ultra-high Q40+ data quality allows you to break through limits of detection.
15× higher accuracy than other benchtop sequencers
SBB chemistry to deliver ultra-high quality, highly accurate, and exceptionally sensitive detection of cfDNAs.
Unprecedented sensitivity
Delivering the ability to identify biomarkers missed by other sequencing platforms.
Q40+ performance provides high quality results at lower read depth than SBS.
Less sequencing per sample allows reduced cost and increased throughput.
Seamless workflow integration
Designed with key accessories and the flexibility to integrate with existing short-read tools:
- Library conversion kit
- PacBio native library prep kits (HMW and fragmented DNA preparation)
- Blocking oligos for hybridization capture methods
- Library amplification kit
- Library quantification kit
- Lambda sequencing control library (spike-in library)
PRODUCT NOTE
ONSO LIBRARY PREPARATION
The Onso™ library preparation kits are used to create libraries for the PacBio® Onso short-read sequencing system. Leveraging proven next generation sequencing (NGS) workflows, libraries can be created in as little as 3 hours from a wide range of sample types (e.g., fragmented or high-molecular weight DNA) and input amounts (10–1,000 ng).

SBB chemistry
Powered by innovative SBB technology, the Onso system delivers near-perfect accuracy and sensitivity to advance your research.
The system delivers 15× higher accuracy than SBS and allows characterization of homopolymers. Fewer errors mean less false positives and more biological insight.
Product note
SEQUENCING BY BINDING (SBB) FOR USE ON THE ONSO SEQUENCING SYSTEM
SBB® is an innovative sequencing technology that delivers amazing NGS accuracy. By incorporating native nucleotides and removing the need to cleave fluorescent modifications, the sequencing strand has minimal scarring and results in higher accuracy base calls.
Higher accuracy
Unique SBB technology delivers 15× higher accuracy for sensitive and specific characterization of low complexity regions with 90% Q40+. Fewer errors mean less false positives and more biological insight.
Improved sensitivity
Using fewer reads, the Onso system lowers the limit of detection, which drives the sensitivity of applications like liquid biopsy. This enables the identification of variants missed by other short-read sequencing platforms.
Streamlined workflow
Simple workflows easily integrate into existing laboratory processes, reducing time and labor.
Efficiency
Q40+ delivers high quality results at lower read depths enabling scalable sequencing while reducing time and cost. Reduced need for unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) lowers workflow complexity and cost.
Industry-leading sensitivity for low-frequency allele detection
