What is the Illumina NextSeq 550Dx Sequencing Instrument?
The NextSeq 550Dx Instrument is an IVD-regulated next-generation sequencing instrument for clinical diagnostics and IVD assay development, per official Illumina documentation. With two operating modes, laboratories run regulated diagnostic assays while retaining flexibility to develop laboratory-developed tests (LDTs), supported by a simple three-step workflow, integrated analysis software and compliance with FDA and IVDR regulations under cGMP manufacturing.
What is it used for?
Clinical molecular laboratories running regulated NGS assays and developing IVD panels.
Key features
- IVD-regulated benchtop sequencing
- Two modes: IVD assays and LDT development
- 90 Gb output, 300M+ paired-end reads, 2 x 150 bp
- Run time under 35 hours
- FDA and IVDR compliant, 21 CFR part 11 software
Technical considerations
Output: 90 Gb. Paired-end reads per run: >= 300M. Max read length: 2 x 150 bp. Run time: < 35 hr. Data quality: > 75% of bases higher than Q30. Regulatory: FDA/IVDR compliant, cGMP-manufactured, 21 CFR part 11 compliant software (per official Illumina specifications).
Specifications should be confirmed against official Illumina documentation before purchase decisions. Where a specification is not listed here, KRIMS will confirm it with the manufacturer on request.
Who may need it?
Hospitals, diagnostic centres, laboratories and research institutions evaluating Cell Biology & Genomics technology.
How to evaluate this equipment
