AVITI Short-read Sequencer
Equipment Introduction
The Element AVITI System reimagines the core components of NGS to offer a benchtop platform that grants access to the genomics ecosystem. Avidity base chemistry (ABC) forms the core of a disruptive design that readily adapts to any application, offering methods that scale from amplicon to whole genome, and from short‑read to long. AVITI and ABC reset expectations on quality scores (Q-scores), delivering exceptional Q30 accuracy for standard 2 x 150 kits at > 90% and > 85% for 2 x 300 sequencing. AVITI provides end-to-end NGS workflows that integrate library prep, sequencing, and analysis. Comprehensive sequencing kit choices cover a spectrum of applications and scale experiments to maintain cost savings across outputs. Highly efficient, two 2x150 sequencing runs with indexing generates up to 600 GB of data and 2 billion reads in only 38 hours. The kits support a range of insert sizes while accommodating unique dual indexes (UDIs) and unique molecular identifiers (UMIs).
