Illumina NovaSeq S4 Flow Cell, Xp Workflow

Illumina has launched its S4 flow cell and reagent kit for its NovaSeq 6000 next-generation sequencing instrument and plans to launch its NovaSeq Xp workflow before the end of the year.

The S4 flow cell can deliver up to 6 terabases of data, equivalent to up to 48 human genomes or 384 exomes, in two days. The Xp workflow includes the Xp flow cell loading dock and reagents and enables users to load libraries directly onto individual flow cell lanes, which enables users to mix library types or different approaches for sample indexing.
