MGI HotMPS High-Throughput Sequencing Kit

BGI Group affiliate MGI has launched new commercial sequencing chemistry called HotMPS for its DNBSeq-G400 sequencer. Built upon the combinatorial Probe Anchor Synthesis technology proprietary to MGI, HotMPS can achieve low error rates, low duplication rates, and low index hopping while being compatible with commonly used library preparation methods, according to MGI. The company said HotMPS will be available in certain countries from April 2022. Early-access collaborators have successfully used the chemistry on applications such as whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and metagenome sequencing, the company added.
