Say Hello to PacBio!

Employing the PacBio Sequel IIe, RTL produces highly accurate, precision long-read sequencing – unlocking a new realm of impactful research opportunities and sequencing applications.

Here’s how RTL + PacBio can take your endeavor to the next level:

  • HiFi Reads: Achieve exceptional accuracy with high-fidelity (HiFi) and redundant reads of up to 25 kb per read, significantly reducing errors with over 99.9% accuracy.

  • Depth of Coverage: Generate up to 450 Gb of high-quality data per SMRT Cell per run to ensure a thorough analysis of even the most challenging genomic regions. Particularly suited for deep genome sequencing, this increased coverage enables detection of rare variants, mutations, and other low-frequency genomic changes.

  • Long Reads: Resolve intricate genomic regions with long reads averaging 15,000 base pairs, with some exceeding well over 100,000 base pairs.
