Complete Genomics Launches DNBSEQ-T7+ to Enhance High-Throughput Sequencing Capabilities
In a significant move for genomic research, Complete Genomics, a leading innovator in DNA sequencing technology based in the U.S., has announced the initiation of shipments for its
DNBSEQ-T7+ high-throughput sequencing platform at the AGBT 2026 conference. This platform is poised to cater to the growing demands of large-scale genomic projects and production sequencing environments, addressing the needs of researchers and institutions striving for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Key Features of DNBSEQ-T7+
The
DNBSEQ-T7+ system is designed with high-performance capabilities that optimize workflows for key applications in genomics, such as:
- - Large-scale whole genome sequencing (WGS)
- - Population genomics initiatives
- - Clinical research and translational genomics
- - High-volume production sequencing laboratories
One of the standout features of the DNBSEQ-T7+ is its
streamlined workflow, which facilitates a rapid transition from library preparation to data analysis. This efficient system can deliver
paired-end 150 base pair (PE150) reads within just 24 hours. It is capable of generating an impressive
48 billion reads from four independent flow cells in the same timeframe, making it ideal for high-throughput research contexts where both volume and speed are critical. In fact, the DNBSEQ-T7+ can process over
28,000 whole genomes per year, offering unprecedented scalability for large research groups.
Cost Efficiency and Data Quality
In addition to its high throughput, the DNBSEQ-T7+ maintains exceptional data quality. It achieves a per-base accuracy at Q40, providing a competitive price point of
$1 per gigabase (Gb) or approximately
$100 per genome. This pricing structure allows for cost-effective large-scale sequencing while giving researchers the flexibility to modulate the number of samples needed to reach their desired cost objectives. Moreover, its independent flow cell architecture supports a variety of run configurations, catering to both extensive batch processing and operational flexibility in high-demand scenarios.
With a US list price of
$800,000, the DNBSEQ-T7+ is more affordable than many comparable high-throughput sequencers and boasts over
seven times the daily output of similar mid-throughput options. Rob Tarbox, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Complete Genomics, emphasized that, "the launch of DNBSEQ-T7+ reflects our commitment to providing both scale and precision, essential for high-throughput sequencing customers. Researchers are increasingly focusing on balancing throughput, data quality, and operational efficiency, and T7+ is designed to meet these needs within a unified system."
