Used PACIFIC BIOSCIENCES PacBio R5 #9060345 for sale

PACIFIC BIOSCIENCES PacBio R5 is a single molecule, real-time (SMRT) sequencing platform. It is capable of producing long reads of typically 10 kilobases or more with a high accuracy, which makes it ideal for difficult to sequence regions such as inversion repeats, deletions, structural variants, etc. It also offers an efficient coverage and high throughput, providing data in less than one day. PacBio R5 sequencing equipment is a fully automated platform that uses SMRT Cells technology to provide direct sequencing of DNA or cDNA. each SMRT cell is a self-contained unit containing a small library prep tray, a thermal cycler, and an imaging chamber that is exposed to light during the sequencing process. The system has the flexibility to support sample inputs from any samples, including complex DNA samples. The SMRT cells have an efficient DNA amplification process, and use both single-strand and double-strand primers. The single-strand primers are used to facilitate the automation of library preparation, and the double-strand primers are used to provide high-coverage data. The dual primer unit also allows for accurate base calling and efficient sequencing. PACIFIC BIOSCIENCES PacBio R5 sequencing machine is composed of a sequencing instrument, an automated sample preparation device, and the optional Bioinformatics Platform. The sequencing instrument can be used in both run modes, and is capable of sequencing up to 18 SMRT cells simultaneously. The automated sample preparation device supports sample inputs from both library prep plates and genomic DNA. The optional Bioinformatics Platform provides automated analysis and visualization of the data. The tool provides data in FASTQ format. The data can be viewed within the Sequence Viewer, and can be further exported to other programs for additional analysis. With its long read lengths and high accuracy, PacBio R5 sequencing asset is an ideal choice for laboratories looking to sequence complex DNA samples efficiently.
