Illumina Introduces MiSeq i100 Series: Simplifying Next-Generation Sequencing with Push-Button Workflows

Launch of MiSeq i100 Series:
Illumina has unveiled the MiSeq i100 Series, a new line of benchtop DNA sequencers designed to make next-generation sequencing (NGS) more accessible and user-friendly.

Simplified Workflows:
The MiSeq i100 Series features push-button workflows that are easy to use, even for those with limited NGS expertise. This includes workflows for small whole-genome sequencing for microbiology and targeted NGS panels for infectious diseases and oncology.

Room-Temperature Storage and Shipping:
The new sequencers allow for room-temperature storage and shipping of reagents, eliminating the need for cold chain logistics and enabling labs to sequence on demand without thawing delays.

Enhanced Speed and Efficiency:
The MiSeq i100 Series offers dramatic reductions in run times, with sequencing as fast as four hours and same-day results, which is four times faster than the previous MiSeq System.

Sustainability:
The new sequencers reduce packaging waste by 85% compared to the MiSeq System, supporting a lower carbon footprint.

Cost Efficiency:
The MiSeq i100 Series provides cost-effective consumables, making sequencing more affordable for labs.

Availability:
The MiSeq i100 Series will be available to ship globally in 2025.
