Used ILLUMINA NextSeq 500 #293615017 for sale

ILLUMINA NextSeq 500 is an advanced, high-throughput sequencing platform offering rapid, scalable, and cost-effective data generation compared to previous ILLUMINA sequencing platforms. NextSeq 500 systems offer up to 8 cores and up to 66 GB of memory each, with a maximum output of 2.5 Gb/h when running MiSeq runs. The equipment is primarily composed of a computer with a 64GB of RAM, and a sequencing reader device which contains 2 flow cells to facilitate sequencing reactions by using sequencing reagents provided by ILLUMINA. ILLUMINA NextSeq 500 sequencing reactions generate single-end or paired-end sequencing reads of varying length, including 150 base pair or 300 base pair read lengths. Reads can be paired or unpaired depending on the sequencing mode selected. The system also features a built-in software to analyze the data. NextSeq 500 offers two sequencing types; rapid run and high output. The rapid run mode typically allows for the average sequencing run to be completed in a few hours and yields short reads of 36bp and 76bp. The high output mode is designed to allow higher read throughputs at longer read lengths (150bp and 300bp). This mode offers faster run times, increased throughput, and longer read length capability. To initiate a sequencing run on ILLUMINA NextSeq 500, a user must first select a software and read length. Once the software and read length have been selected, the user sets up the run with their sequencing reagents and sample library by following a step-by-step guide provided by ILLUMINA. After that, the user initiates the sequencing run using the software that came with unit. Progress of the run can be monitored from the sequencing computer or from the software window. Once the sequencing run is completed, the data can be downloaded via the sequencing computer or from ILLUMINA BaseSpace platform. Data analysis can be performed using the analysis software that came with the machine or other freely available software packages. Overall, NextSeq 500 is an advanced sequencing platform designed to meet the needs of modern life science laboratories. The tool offers fast, cost-effective, and accurate sequencing data generation and is compatible with a wide variety of sample types and libraries.
