SEQUEL IIe SYSTEM
Long-read sequencing
Long, accurate HiFi reads with DNA methylation direct from the instrument in every run
Supports a wide range of applications – targeted sequencing, RNA sequencing, and whole-genome sequencing
Throughput match for microbial genome sequencing, AAV vector sequencing, Iso-Seq, and more
Featured in hundreds of peer-reviewed publications
“Using PacBio sequencing we can detect mutations that otherwise would be missed in Illumina sequencing”
– van Schendel, NAR Genomics and Bioinformatics, 2022

HiFi sequencing — Unlock your next great discovery
Researchers are fueling discovery with the advantages of short reads and traditional long reads in one easy-to-use technology.
SBB sequencing
The accuracy of the SBB novel sequencing approach has the potential to advance cancer research, drive higher fidelity for single-cell applications, and broadly enable translational sequencing – even in regions of the genome prone to sequencing errors.
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.
