February 2025—Illumina announced a series of updates to its NovaSeq X series, including the NovaSeq X single-flow-cell system, a software upgrade, and new kits.
The single-flow-cell NovaSeq X sequencing system offers the same flow cells and speed as the NovaSeq X Plus sequencing system at a more accessible cost for laboratories with lower volume, according to a company press statement. The software upgrade, version 1.3, provides laboratories with improved sequencing accuracy and higher yields, and the new kits, the NovaSeq X 25B 100- and 200-cycle kits, are optimized for counting applications and other assays at scale, offering shorter turnaround times and more cost-effective runs.
The company also announced that Illumina Single-Cell Prep, formerly Fluent PipSeq V, is available. It’s compatible with the NextSeq 1000/2000, NovaSeq 6000, and NovaSeq X.
