Equipment
HiSeq 2000
We have one HiSeq 2000, which produces the largest data output currently offered by Illumina. Capable of imaging both sides of a flowcell, one 2 x 100 bp read can generate up to 6 billion paired end reads from 8 samples. Click on the image for more information on Illumina's website.
Genome Analyser IIx
We have three Illumina Genome Analyser IIx (GAIIx) sequencers, each coupled with a paired-end module that allows reads from both ends of library templates.
Each GAIIx is capable of running up to 2 x 150 bp read length assays on 8 samples, resulting in up to 640 million paired end reads per run. Click on the image for more information.
cBot
We also have two cBots which automate library cluster generation on the flowcell. Each cBot is compatible with both the GAIIx and the HiSeq 2000.
Choose an Assay
Illumina provides a number of assays (i.e. single-read, paired-end, etc) that can be used for the different high-throughput sequencing applications. Each assay comprises a specific reagent kit for the library preparation, cluster generation, and for the sequencing reaction. We encourage you to visit the Illumina web site and discuss your project with our staff in order to help you choose the most appropriate assay for your study.
