GS FLX+ System

Now delivering sequencing reads up to 1,000 bp in length!

The GS FLX+ System features the unique combination of long reads, exceptional accuracy and high-throughput, making the system well suited for larger genomic projects. The GS FLX System has been at the heart of key breakthrough genomic discoveries and over 1,000 peer-reviewed publications to date.

Advancements in sequencing chemistry, instrumentation and software offer the latest improvements in GS FLX System performance, with read lengths up to 1 kb. Available as an on-site instrument upgrade or new instrument, the GS FLX+ System is designed for use with both the new long-read Sequencing Kit XL+ and existing Sequencing Kit XLR70.


GS FLX+ System Features:

• True capillary sequencing-like read lengths: Continuous development of the GS FLX Titanium chemistry now offers read lengths up to 1 kb
• Flexible sequencing formats: Broad selection of gaskets and Multiplex Identifiers (MIDs) enables efficient use of sequencing runs
• Point-and-click data analysis: Included GS Data Analysis Software for de novo assembly, reference mapping and amplicon variant analysis.

Applications:

• Whole Genome Sequencing: De novo sequencing of large, complex organisms or multiple bacterial genomes in a single run
• Transcriptome Sequencing: Full-length de novo sequencing and assembly of complex organisms
• Amplicon Sequencing: High-throughput sequencing of 100s to 1,000s of samples and loci
• Sequence Capture: Targeted resequencing of whole exomes or large capture regions
• Metagenomics: Characterization of complex environmental samples; pathogen discovery
