Amazing sequencing platform
Application Area:Oncology
"The sequencer is unquestionably a versatile and high-quality tool in the field of genetics. Its ability to analyze and decode DNA sequences is impressive, offering precise and reliable results. However, it is important to note that this sequencer is designed to be used exclusively by expert hands. Its complexity and level of sophistication require a deep understanding of sequencing techniques."

Great mid range short read sequencer
Application Area:Genomics
"Great mid-range sequencer. Not cheapest but great for small to medium sequencing core facilities. Very reliable and easy to use. Also modified library preps reduce library costs too... these were the workhorse for sequencing 80,000 COVID genomes over 2 years in our lab supporting the UK surveillance of new variants."

Great instrument, I have got great results.
Application Area:Biomedical science, PhD study
"High quality results, reliable, trusted. Me and my friend have trained previously in our institute to use it by the company and they stay by us supporting during the whole process. It is worth having it for postgraduate study."
The NextSeq 550Dx instrument is FDA regulated and CE-in vitro diagnostic (IVD) marked, enabling clinical laboratories to develop and perform a wide range of applications, from NGS IVD assays using targeted panels, to clinical research applications that include methods from targeted panels to whole genomes.
Flexibility of Dual Operating Modes
Work within a regulated sequencing workflow for developing diagnotic tests and leveraging future NGS IVD tests in the pipeline, while retaining the flexibility to work in a research environment and use the full range of Illumina sequencing methods for a wide range of applications.
Consistency of a Clinical Instrument
The instrument and sequencing reagents are all regulated by the FDA, developed under design control principles, manufactured under Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs), and verified for consistent assay performance.
Design Your Own NGS Assays for Use on the NextSeq 550Dx System
Paired with the TruSeq Custom Amplicon Kit Dx library preparation kit and the NextSeq 550Dx Reagent Kit, the NextSeq 550Dx is part of an IVD development toolkit that enables clinical labs to design clinical assays with regulated components.
