SEQUENCING PLATFORM COMPARISON
Why labs are switching to HiFi sequencing
More accurate than Nanopore. More complete than
SBS-based proximity mapped read technology. Less expensive than both. Compare the platforms and then download the app brief.

The economics of HiFi sequencing just changed: Long-read genomes at $345.
The latest SPRQ-Nx multi-use SMRT Cells for the Revio system deliver gold-standard HiFi reads using only 500 ng DNA. HiFi reads give genomic users a clear path to more reliable detection of all variant types, built-in methylation insights, and scalable, cost-efficient workflows for everything from discovery to routine use.
