Different from the standalone versions, modular versions share one screen and console server. This combination looks like a super-sequencing "magic cube."

MGI has launched a new benchtop sequencing lab featuring the portable DNBSEQ E series and the modular DNBelab D series. These fully dry, compact systems offer standalone or stackable modular versions, giving users unprecedented flexibility for library preparation and sequencing throughput.

Stackable, expandable, and flexible

The modular versions share a single screen and console server, forming a “super-sequencing magic cube.” Users can mix and match cubes based on throughput needs, enabling simultaneous, random-access sequencing without waiting for other runs to finish.

Combinations are flexible: for example, one DNBelab D generating 4 libraries can be paired with 2 DNBSEQ E sequencers if the sequencing throughput is lower than the library preparation capacity. Users can also expand only DNBelab D or only DNBSEQ E, depending on their workflow requirements.

One-stop sequencing workflow

The benchtop sequencing lab offers an intuitive interface, reducing hands-on time to under 10 minutes. Complete DNA sequencing reports can be produced in just 8 hours. Applications include basic research, clinical testing such as tumor genetics and reproductive health, pathogen identification, environmental studies, field surveys, and on-site forensic analysis.

With its stackable, scalable design, this modular lab allows users to customize their sequencing setup to meet multiple needs, unlocking unlimited possibilities for research and clinical genomics.
