January 29, 2024/in MGI, Partners, Sequencing Platforms/by Harshita Sharma

E25: Sequencing on the Go

Not every sequencing question belongs in a core facility. Whether you’re working at a remote field site, a resource-limited clinic, a teaching lab, or simply need a dedicated benchtop instrument without competing for shared equipment time, the DNBSEQ-E25 puts high-quality sequencing where you need it. Weighing just 15 kg and requiring nothing more than a power source, the E25 integrates microfluidic flow cell technology, CMOS-based detection, and self-luminous dye chemistry into a single compact unit that takes you from loaded sample to FASTQ output — no ancillary hardware, no bioinformatics workstation, no internet connection.

What sets the E25 apart from other portable or benchtop sequencers is the degree to which the entire workflow is self-contained. The built-in computing module handles base calling and report generation on-board, and the enhanced E25A model extends this to full data analysis pipelines for applications including whole-genome sequencing. There’s no washing required between runs, setup takes roughly 10 minutes, and the system supports both MGI and App-C libraries without primer substitutio

DNBSEQ-G400

January 29, 2024/in MGI, Partners, Sequencing Platforms/by Harshita Sharma

G400: Seamless, Fast, and Precise Sequencing

Most genomics labs don’t run one application — they run many. The DNBSEQ-G400 is designed for exactly this reality. With two independent flow cell slots, two flow cell formats (FCS and FCL), and read configurations spanning SE50 through to PE200 and even SE400, the G400 lets you run different applications simultaneously on the same instrument without compromising on turnaround or data quality. Powered by MGI’s StandardMPS 2.0 reagent chemistry, the platform achieves Q40 accuracy across key read lengths — a level of base-calling precision that reduces error rates and strengthens confidence in variant calls, differential expression, and any downstream analysis where per-base accuracy matters.

What makes the G400 particularly practical for mid-scale genomics operations is the balance between throughput and flexibility. The large flow cell (FCL) delivers up to 1,800M reads and 540 Gb per flow cell at PE150, putting whole-genome sequencing, large RNA-seq experiments, and high-depth exome batches comfortably within reach. Meanwhile, the small flow cell (FCS) supports faster, lower-volume runs — ideal for targeted panels, amplicon sequencing, or urgent turnaround samples — without wasting capacity.

Flexible Enough for Every Application on Your List

Running multiple sequencing applications and need a single platform that handles them all? Our team can walk you through flow cell configurations, throughput planning, and how the G400 fits alongside your existing setup.

Why It Matters to You

For Genomics Core Facilities

Your users submit everything from targeted panels to whole genomes, and they all want results yesterday. The G400’s dual flow cell design lets you batch high-throughput projects on the FCL while running urgent or low-volume jobs on the FCS — simultaneously. Q40 data quality across key read lengths means fewer reruns and higher first-pass success rates, keeping your queue moving and your users satisfied.

For Cancer & Clinical Research Labs

Somatic variant detection demands accuracy. Q40-grade base quality reduces false positive variant calls, particularly at low allele frequencies where sequencing errors and true variants are hardest to distinguish. The G400’s flexible read lengths also let you run tumour-normal WGS, RNA-seq for gene expression, and targeted hotspot panels on a single platform — simplifying your instrument fleet and standardising your data quality.

For Translational & Pharma Research Groups

Drug target validation, biomarker discovery, and companion diagnostic development all require reproducible, high-quality sequencing data across multiple assay types. The G400 supports the breadth of applications these programmes demand — WGS, WES, RNA-seq, methylation, targeted panels — on a single instrument with consistent Q40 performance, reducing the platform-to-platform variability that complicates cross-study comparisons.

For Agricultural & Environmental Genomics

Genotyping-by-sequencing, amplicon panels for pathogen surveillance, metagenomic profiling, and small genome assemblies all fit comfortably within the G400’s output range. The SE400 read mode is particularly relevant for applications requiring longer contiguous reads without moving to a long-read platform. For labs processing high sample volumes across diverse project types, the dual flow cell system keeps throughput high while accommodating varied experimental designs.

DNBSEQ-G99

January 29, 2024/in MGI, Partners, Sequencing Platforms/by Harshita Sharma

G99: Lightning-Fast, High-Precision

Speed matters in genomics — and not just for urgent clinical samples. Faster turnaround means tighter experimental iteration, shorter time-to-answer for surveillance workflows, and more efficient use of lab time across every application. The DNBSEQ-G99 is engineered around this principle. Delivering PE150 sequencing with Q40 base quality in approximately 12 hours, it is one of the fastest benchtop sequencers in its throughput class. That speed comes from coordinated advances in biochemistry, optics, fluidics, and temperature control — not from cutting corners on data quality. Q40 accuracy (fewer than 1 in 10,000 miscalled bases) is maintained across key read lengths using MGI’s StandardMPS 2.0 reagents, giving you high-confidence data on the first pass.

What gives the G99 its breadth is the three-tier flow cell system. The FCS (40M reads) handles small targeted panels and rapid-turnaround jobs. The FCL (80M reads) covers the mid-range — oncology panels, microbial genomes, RNA-seq, methylation, and more — with read lengths from SE50 through PE300 and even SE400 for forensics and long-amplicon work. And the FCU (200M reads) extends into whole-exome sequencing territory, delivering up to 120 Gb per flow cell at PE150 and supporting batches of 8 or more exomes per run. With dual flow cell slots running independently, you can pair any two of these formats in a single run — matching throughput to demand without wasting capacity or waiting for a full batch.

Why It Matters to You

For Clinical & Diagnostic Genomics Labs

Turnaround time is a clinical deliverable, not a convenience metric. PE150 in 12 hours with Q40 accuracy means panels and exomes can be reported within clinically relevant timeframes. The G99's App-D compatibility with Illumina libraries simplifies validation and transition for labs moving from existing platforms, and the optional bioinformatics module (G99A) enables on-board analysis without external compute infrastructure — reducing IT overhead and data security complexity.

For Oncology Panel & Precision Medicine Groups

Somatic variant calling at low allele frequencies demands both accuracy and depth. Q40 data quality reduces false positive calls that waste follow-up resources, while the G99's flexible batching — from a handful of samples on the FCS to larger cohorts on the FCU — means you're not over-sequencing small batches or under-powering large ones. Methylation-based cancer detection panels are equally well served, with PE150 support at the depths these assays require.

For Infectious Disease & Public Health Surveillance

Pathogen identification, resistance profiling, metagenomic screening, and 16S community analysis all run on the G99. SE50 and SE100 modes handle rapid pathogen detection with same-day turnaround. PE300 on the FCL or FCU supports full 16S sequencing for microbiome and environmental monitoring. ATOPlex respiratory and COVID-19 panel workflows are directly supported, and the dual flow cell system lets you run surveillance samples alongside research projects without scheduling conflicts.
