Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S Prime Reagent Kits

Feb 06, 2019

Illumina has launched its S Prime Reagent Kits for the NovaSeq 6000 next-generation sequencing instrument. The kits, which are available in 100-, 300-, and 500-Cycle configurations, enable paired-end reads as long as 250 bases. They require run times of 13 hours for 50-base paired end reads and up to 38 hours for 250-base paired end reads. Illumina said that total throughput is between 65 and 400 gigabases, depending on the read length.
