SKU: KES-CELL-BIOLOGY-G-ILLUMINA-NEXTSEQ-550DX · Model: NextSeq 550Dx
Benchtop IVD-regulated next-generation sequencing instrument for clinical diagnostics and IVD assay development.
Product Overview
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.
Applications
Clinical molecular laboratories running regulated NGS assays and developing IVD panels.
Clinical Benefits
Improved diagnostic accuracy, enhanced patient safety, and reduced operational downtime.
