Consumables
PacBio provides complete workflows and all the consumable components you need to perform Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing.
Long, accurate reads are only a few steps away
Template preparation
- Convert your samples (genomic DNA, cDNA, or amplicons) into a SMRTbell library
- Perform manually at the benchtop or by an automated liquid-handling system
Annealing, Binding, and Cleanup (ABC)
- Bind primer-annealed SMRTbell templates to a DNA polymerase in preparation for sequencing
Sequencing
- Utilize SMRT Cells and SMRT sequencing reagents required for on-instrument sequencing
- Order multi-well plates, septa, and tips specifically designed and optimized for use with PacBio systems
Featured SMRT consumables
New library prep consumables for Sequel II systems
We’re delighted to introduce our new SMRTbell prep kit 3.0 and our new Binding kits 3.1 and 3.2. These new consumables accelerate sample preparation times, lower DNA input requirements, and simplify protocol guidance across applications. We also now offer single collection versions of our SMRT Cell 8M and Sequencing kit and consumables, offering users the flexibility to run small, single SMRT Cell runs when convenient.
Learn how these consumables can elevate your whole genome sequencing, variant detection, epigenome analysis, and full-length RNA sequencing research with quick turnaround times to characterize SNPs, structural variants, splice isoforms, and improved genome annotation with high accuracy.
Learn more about the Sequel II and IIe systems.
