Flexible Partial Lane Sequencing on NovaSeq X Plus

Our Partial Lane Sequencing service allows multiple projects to share a lane on the NovaSeq X Plus, offering economic flexibility and easy access to small data volume options using the latest sequencing technology.

We welcome all Illumina-compatible libraries that meet our requirements for Partial Lane Sequencing. These libraries are expertly grouped and balanced with other samples to ensure optimal base diversity on the lane, eliminating the need for PhiX spike-in libraries as balancers and maximizing usable lane space.

Reliable Full Lane Sequencing on NovaSeq X Plus

Our Full Lane Sequencing service offers entire lanes of the flow cell on NovaSeq X Plus for exceptional throughput and sequencing consistency. By minimizing cross-contamination risks, the Full Lane Sequencing ensures reliability and precision of your sequencing results.

To maintain high-quality data from NovaSeq X Plus, it’s essential to preserve base diversity on the lane. We recommend selecting index adapters with diverse index sequences that optimize color balance within pooled libraries. This strategy is essential for successful demultiplexing and subsequent data analysis. As a general guideline, Illumina recommends selecting index sequences such that signal will be present in both channels for each index cycle when sequencing libraries with two-color chemistry.

Novogene Workflow of Pre-made Library Sequencing

For self-constructed libraries provided by the customers, quality analysis is performed initially before sequencing to ensure the quality of the data. The qualified libraries are fed into Illumina sequencers after pooling according to their effective concentrations and expected data volumes.
