The Sentosa SQ 318 Chip Kit is used to perform up to 200 base-read sequencing of enriched, template-positive Ion Sphere™ Particles (ISPs) containing clonally-amplified DNA. The procedure is performed on the Sentosa SQ301 which includes the Sentosa SQ301 Sequencer and the Sentosa SQ301 Server. Upon completion, users can review / analyse the run data using the Sentosa SQ Reporter.

• 600 Mb – 2.0 Gb of sequence data with a fast run time of only 4–7 hours

• Supports a variety of Vela Diagnostics’ Oncology and Virology panels as well as other library preparation methods and thus minimizes the need for different solutions for different assays

• Allows for targeted gene sequencing with 4–5.5 million reads per run

• Easy handling and loading of templated Ion Sphere™ Particles

• Open-channel capability
