Brussels, Belgium, May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Description:
Next-generation sequencing is a technique for determining the sequence of DNA or RNA in order to investigate genetic variations linked to diseases or other biological phenomena. NGS refers to a set of technologies that use massively parallel sequencing to generate millions of short read sequences in a shorter time and with considerably higher throughput.
Technological advancements in sequencing platforms to fuel the next-generation sequencing market demand
Continuous advances in sequencing technology have enabled to develop efficient, portable, and easy-to-use NGS sequencers to deliver rapid and precise results while also reducing turnaround times. Such advancements tend to provide competitive edge to manufacturers and therefore, major players are continuously focusing on investing in research activities for new product development to strengthen their positions in this high growth market. Some of the technological advancements are listed below:
- In March 2022, Element Biosciences Inc. launched its benchtop sequencer - Element AVITI System, that offers combination of performance, cost, and flexibility in an unprecedented way. This system consists of a benchtop NGS instrument and related consumables
- In December 2021, Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. commercially launched its G4 platform, a powerful benchtop sequencer featuring a new high-performance chemistry with advanced engineering to give precision, flexibility, speed, and power for a wide range of applications, including cancer and immunology research
- In December 2021, Roche launched its AVENIO Edge System, a next-generation platform to assist sequencing laboratories and researchers to reduce human error, further providing fast, precise, and reliable results
