Discover G4
A benchtop sequencing platform delivering accuracy, speed, power, and unprecedented flexibility for a wide range of genomic applications.
Accuracy
Reimagined Chemistry
At the core of the G4 is a proprietary 4-color Rapid SBS chemistry comprised of novel nucleotides, specifically-engineered enzymes, and molecular biology methods to deliver highly accurate paired-read sequencing.
Flexibility
4 Lanes per Flow Cell
Each flow cell is intentionally designed with 4 independent lanes, reducing sample pooling and offering flexibility to run multiple experiments in parallel.
Flexibility
Up to 4 Flow Cells per Run
The G4 delivers scalable run capacity to empower labs that have variable volume and time-sensitive samples with cost efficient, single-day turnaround times.
Speed
Daily Sequencing
Novel chemistry combined with breakthrough imaging technology and rapid fluidics reduces run times from days to hours.
Power
Unmatched Power in a Benchtop Sequencer
The G4 is engineered for throughput. With up to 2.5x more data output per hour than the leading benchtop instrument, the G4 will sequence up to 4 human genomes in a single day.
