Bring the benefits of next-generation sequencing (NGS) into the clinical lab with the first and only FDA-cleared NGS system for in vitro diagnostic use.

Illumina is the leading provider of accurate, reliable NGS solutions. Now clinical laboratories can take advantage of powerful NGS technology with the MiSeqDx system.

The MiSeqDx instrument is the first and only FDA-cleared in vitro diagnostic (IVD) next-generation sequencing system. Designed specifically for the clinical laboratory environment, the MiSeqDx instrument offers a small footprint, an easy-to-follow workflow, and data output tailored to the needs of clinical labs. In addition, the integrated software enables sample tracking, user traceability, and results interpretation*. Taking advantage of proven Illumina sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry, the MiSeqDx instrument provides accurate, reliable screening, and diagnostic testing.

Currently, three ready-to-use kits and assays are available for use on the MiSeqDx system:

• MiSeqDx Universal Kit
o Develop your own diagnostic tests.

• MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis 139-Variant Assay
o The largest panel of clinically relevant and functionally validated variants for cystic fibrosis testing

• MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Sequencing Assay
o An NGS test providing a comprehensive view of the CFTR gene.

The MiSeqDx instrument provides you maximum flexibility in your clinical lab.

MiSeqDx System

Illumina

The MiSeqDx instrument is the first and only FDA-cleared in vitro diagnostic (IVD) next-generation sequencing (NGS) system. Designed specifically for the clinical laboratory environment, the MiSeqDx instrument offers a small, approximately 4 square feet (0.37 square meters) footprint, an easy-to-follow workflow, and data output tailored to the needs of clinical labs. In addition, the integrated software enables sample tracking, user traceability, and results interpretation.Taking advantage of proven Illumina sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry, the MiSeqDx instrument provides accurate, reliable screening, and diagnostic testing.MiSeqDx System Features & Benefits: First and Only FDA-cleared IVD NGS System - As an FDA-cleared IVD system, the MiSeqDx instrument meets guaranteed performance characteristics so you can feel confident that you are generating accurate and reliable data. Simple NGS Workflow - The compact, all-in-one instrument incorporates cluster generation, paired-end fluidics, sequencing by synthesis chemistry, and complete data analysis. Enhanced User Security - Equipped with Illumina User Management Software that enables laboratories to control and trace system access, ensuring that only authorized personnel are running tests. Proven, Well-Published Technology - The most widely adopted NGS technology worldwide, with references in more than 3,300 peer-reviewed publications. The MiSeqDx system uses the same proven reversible-terminator SBS chemistry used by all Illumina sequencing platforms. User-Friendly, Intuitive Software - The first IVD NGS to offer a fully integrated sequencing ecosystem. Instrument software is accessed through a user-friendly touch screen interface.
