Problem
Traditional DNA sequencing methods can be expensive and may not provide the accuracy needed for certain genomic research applications, particularly when dealing with challenging sample types or requiring high precision. Researchers need cost-effective and highly accurate sequencing solutions to advance their studies.
Solution
Element Biosciences offers the AVITI system, a DNA sequencing platform designed to deliver industry-leading accuracy at a lower cost per run. The system leverages proprietary avidite base chemistry (ABC) to achieve high-quality data efficiently in a compact benchtop design. Paired with the Cloudbreak UltraQ sequencing kits, the AVITI system achieves >70% Q50 and >90% Q40 accuracy, providing flexibility for applications where precision is critical. The AVITI system also features dual flow cells that operate independently, increasing throughput and flexibility.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes genomic researchers, sequencing facilities, and other scientific organizations seeking high-accuracy, cost-effective DNA sequencing solutions.
