Modified LongPlex™ Protocol (LongPlex XL)
/in News, SeqWell/by Harshita SharmaUnlock with quick sign up!
This technical note outlines an alternative workflow for generating 10–15 kb HiFi reads from high-quality genomic DNA using the LongPlex Long Fragment Multiplexing Kit. In this approach, LongPlex is used to fragment and barcode samples, and PacBio’s Short Read Eliminator (SRE) is applied to size-select fragments >10 kb before SMRTbell® library preparation.
LongPlex uses plate-based transposase tagmentation for multiplexed fragmentation and barcoding, removing the need for mechanical shearing and allowing barcoded samples to be pooled before SMRTbell prep. This simplifies the workflow, increases throughput, and lowers library prep costs.
The standard LongPlex protocol generates 6–9 kb HiFi reads from high- to medium-quality DNA—ideal for microbial and other small-genome projects. However, users working with higher-quality DNA may want longer HiFi reads to maximize gigabase yield on PacBio systems.
This modified workflow is only suitable for high-quality DNA (Femto Pulse GQN30kb ≥7). Using degraded DNA will result in substantial sample loss during SRE size selection.

Notices:
The STOmics validated tissue list was generated using standard tissue and sample types, all of which are frozen. Each tissue sample had an area of less than 1 cm² and was sectioned at a thickness of 10 μm. Most experiments were performed using the Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Kit V1.2, with a few using V1.1. Sequencing depth ranged from 1–3 G reads per sample, and data were processed using the Stereo-seq Analysis Workflow (SAW) versions V2.1.0–V5.1.3. Testing was conducted between 2020 and 2022.
Please note that all test parameters and results are highly dependent on the tissue and sample type. This information should be used as a reference guide to help design and optimize your own experiments, rather than as definitive outcomes for all samples.

Data Set: Parse 10 Million Human PBMCs in a Single Experiment
/in News, Parse/by Harshita SharmaUnlock with quick sign up!
Key Takeaways
Analyze 10 million cells across 1,152 samples in a single experiment
Increase statistical power by profiling more cells per sample
Capture detailed cellular responses to perturbations and drug treatments
Figure 1: Experimental Design Overview
Approximately 10 million PBMCs from 12 healthy donors were treated with 90 different cytokines in a single GigaLab experiment, covering 1,092 experimental conditions.
Cells were thawed, washed, and seeded at 1 million cells per well across 12 plates. After 24-hour cytokine treatment, cells were fixed, barcoded, and processed for whole transcriptome sequencing. Libraries were sequenced on the Ultima Genomics platform, achieving ~31,000 reads per cell, with 62.45% cell retention after barcoding.
After data processing with the Parse Analysis Pipeline v1.4.0, integration, and classification, 9,697,974 cells across 18 immune cell types were identified—including rare populations that are typically missed in smaller experiments. Each condition yielded a median of 7,400 cells, enabling high-resolution analysis of immune responses.
Differential expression analysis identified how cytokines influenced gene activity across cell types. Many cytokines triggered strong transcriptional responses, with over 50 genes upregulated per treatment.

A TDI (Time Delay and Integration) camera is a high-performance imaging system used in MGI’s T20×2 ultra-high throughput sequencer to capture fluorescence signals with exceptional sensitivity and speed. Unlike conventional cameras that take static images, a TDI camera continuously scans across the sequencing slide, synchronizing image acquisition with sample movement. This technique integrates multiple exposures of the same area over time, significantly boosting signal strength and reducing noise. In the T20*, the TDI line-scan cameras work alongside a liquid-immersion optical lens and a large field-of-view objective to capture more fluorescence data per unit time with higher resolution. The result is faster, more accurate base identification and greater sequencing throughput — a cornerstone technology enabling MGI’s record-breaking data generation efficiency.
DNBSEQ is MGI’s proprietary sequencing platform based on DNA Nanoball (DNB) technology. Instead of traditional bridge amplification used by other platforms, DNBSEQ amplifies DNA fragments through rolling circle replication, creating dense, uniform DNA nanoballs that are then arrayed on a patterned flow cell. This approach eliminates amplification errors, reduces duplication rates, and enhances signal precision. Combined with MGI’s two-color fluorescence detection and advanced imaging systems, DNBSEQ delivers high-throughput, low-cost, and highly accurate sequencing results. The platform supports a wide range of applications—from whole genome and single-cell sequencing to metagenomics and oncology research—while offering superior data consistency and scalability compared to conventional NGS systems.
Standard MPS 2.0 (SM 2.0) is MGI’s next-generation sequencing chemistry designed to significantly enhance the accuracy and performance of its DNBSEQ™ platforms. By refining enzyme systems, optimizing fluorescent dyes, and improving data interpretation algorithms, SM 2.0 delivers exceptional sequencing quality—achieving over 85% of bases at Q40, or 99.99% base-calling accuracy. These advancements reduce noise, improve signal clarity, and minimize bias from upstream preparation. As a result, researchers gain higher confidence in detecting low-frequency mutations, SNPs, and InDels across applications such as whole genome sequencing, single-cell studies, and microbiome analysis. In essence, SM 2.0 sets a new industry standard for precision, reliability, and data quality in high-throughput sequencing.
T7+ features checkpoint resume technology and proactive fault detection, allowing sequencing to continue without data loss once power or system issues are resolved.
The 7-in-1 integrated workflow minimizes manual intervention—preparation and monitoring are streamlined, so staff can focus on data analysis rather than instrument operation.
