Element’s AVITI Sequencing System
Element’s AVITI Sequencing System is a disruptive next generation sequencing solution that allows researchers and clinicians to do more scientific exploration through a combination of low cost, high data quality and ease of use. The AVITI System is a massively parallel NGS system that sequences 1 billion + paired end reads per each of its random-access dual flow cells, producing read lengths of up to 2×150 bp from each template, generating as much as 600+ Gb of high quality data in a single run at a fraction of cost that comes from similar scale NGS platforms from competition.
The Element AVITI System combines a flexible, simple workflow with best-in-class data quality for a benchtop sequencer to perform affordable genomic science. Avidity sequencing achieves high accuracy, with 96.2% and 85.4% of base calls having an average of one error per 1,000 and 10,000 base pairs, respectively. Further, Element AVITI Cloudbreak Chemistry helps in 20% faster run times, early demultiplexing, and simplified workflow – all at low cost and industry-leading accuracy. Avidity sequencing chemistry enables a diversity of applications that include whole-human-genome sequencing, Whole exome sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), Loop sequencing for long reads.
Key features include:
- Two fully independent flow cells
- 300 Gb / 1 B reads per flow cell
- >90% Q30 data
- Sample multiplexing without index-hopping
- Diverse read lengths with the flexibility to tune output
- Exceptional accuracy with early insight into data quality
- Lowest benchtop operating costs at a fixed price
- Seamless compatibility with leading assays
