SOLiD PI genetic sequencing system

The SOLiD PI System is an accurate, flexible and easy-to-use genomic analysis platform that will bring next-generation sequencing within the grasp of all life science research laboratories.

The SOLiD PI System, designed in partnership with Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, claims to provide individual researchers and sequencing core laboratories with an instrument that will deliver an accuracy level of 99.99%. The system uses the same ligation-based sequencing technology as the SOLiD 4 System and, coupled with a streamlined workflow, is engineered to deliver high-quality, sample-to-mapped data in as little as two days.

Designed to generate up to 50 gigabases (Gb) of mappable sequence data per run, equivalent to up to 8 Gb per day, this powerful, yet intuitive system will support a breadth of next-generation sequencing applications that include, SNP calling and detection, targeted resequencing, whole transcriptome analysis and digital gene-expression analysis.
