SAN JOSE, CA, 6 June 2022 – MGI Americas (MGI) announced that its innovative CoolMPS sequencing chemistry and instruments* will be commercially available in the United States beginning 29 August 2022. More details about the launch will be shared at the 22nd annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) conference, 6–9 June in Orlando, Florida.
MGI’s DNBSEQ-G400 sequencers* are among the most popular medium- to high-throughput sequencers worldwide, with hundreds installed globally. Following a recent decision by the Court in the Northern District of California, MGI will accept orders for this powerful sequencing platform with CoolMPS* in the US from 29 August and begin commercial shipments thereafter. MGI will continue introducing new instruments to the US market and announce future launch plans at ASHG, including its full family of library preparation kits for whole genome, whole exome, RNA, metagenomics, and more.
These market-proven sequencing products meet US customer needs while offering high performance, quality, availability, and affordability. MGI’s DNBSEQ™ sequencers* combine accurate and cost-effective PCR-free patterned array technology with its unique DNB library and high-quality CoolMPS* antibody-based chemistry to redefine Massively Parallel Sequencing.
MGI continues to innovate complete workflow instruments and kits centred on the DNBSEQ™ platform*. Alongside sequencing instruments*, MGI offers lab automation instruments (MGISTP, MGISP, MGINE series) and sample/library kits for fully automated workflows.
Dr Rade Drmanac, Chief Scientific Officer of MGI, said: “We are excited to bring our well-tested DNBSEQ-based genomics products to the US. Our high-quality products have supported genomics users globally, and now US customers have an alternative for their sequencing needs.”
Since its first commercial launch in 2016, MGI sequencers* have seen worldwide adoption. Thousands of sequencers* and automated platforms are installed globally, and over 1,900 scientific papers have been published using data from MGI instruments*.
