Illumina NextSeq 550

The Genomics Cores uses an Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencer in combination with Illumina v 2.5 sequencing reagents. This system is a high throughput bench top sequencer that provides accurate fast sequencing data, and by employing flexible run configurations it can be easily adopted to a researcher’s needs depending on their required read length and sequencing depth. Reagents are available in a mid-output and a high output mode resulting in maximum cluster numbers of 400 million (high output) and 130 million (mid output) clusters (reads). The following reagent kits are available:
