Any experience regarding the relative run time for one flowchip or two flowchips in parallel on a 5500xl? ie is there a major runtime advantage in running two flowchips in parallel compared with a single flowchip on back to back runs?

Hi Jimmy,
We started last week our first run with 2 flowchips in parallel on a 5500XL sequencer and the run is supposed to last 18 days for the conditions we setup. For the same conditions, one single chip lasts 11 days.
Running 2 chips in parallel is better if you consider the time your reagents will be unfrozen (if you use "double volume" reagents) and so their conservation, compared to 2 runs of 1 flowchip.

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...
