I hear rumors that service on the Nextseq 500 has been discontinued. Has anyone had issues getting service contract, parts or reagents on their Nextseq 500?

It likely has been discontinued already with their release of NextSeq 550 like last year. Almost all the parts are identical, so you shouldn't have any problems getting service contract renewals, parts or consumables for either a 500 or 550. You might have a problem continuing to get the v2 kits (their v2.5 flow cells are superior) for much longer, but that's not due to the instrument.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
