Sequencing systems
Unlock access to some of the world’s most advanced sequencing technologies.
Introduction to PacBio sequencing systems
The Sequel II and Sequel IIe systems offer the most accurate and comprehensive views of the genome, epigenome, and transcriptome available today. Building on years of cutting-edge research and development, these systems are enabling our customers to make discoveries that will change the world.
Key features include:
- Highly-accurate long reads
- Effortless access to the epigenome with 5-base HiFi sequencing (A,T,C,G plus 5mC)
- Uniform coverage with no GC bias, and free of systematic error
- Single-molecule resolution
PacBio [HiFi] provides the lowest error rate out of all technologies.1

CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY
The complete sequence of a human genome
The T2T Consortium recently accomplished a landmark achievement by generating a complete human genome for the very first time — all with the help of PacBio HiFi sequencing.
How far we’ve come part one: insect genomics
The Sequel II and IIe platforms benefit entomologists even further by facilitating the sequencing of even the smallest species with as little as 5 ng of genomic DNA.
