Intelligent Bio-Systems, Danaher Motion's Dover, and Azco BioTech have joined forces to launch the Max-Seq Genome Sequencer that uses a sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry from IBS and components of Dover's Polonator.

From marketing:
*uses two reusable eight-lane flow cells, with each lane producing up to 100 million reads
*35-base reads for a single lane takes less than a day, 55-base reads on two full flow cells take about 2.5 days.
*86% of reads up to 35 base pairs in length and 82% of reads up to 55 base pairs in length have a quality score of at least Q30.
*two types of library preparation and amplification kits, each for either fragment or paired-end libraries: bead-based library construction followed by emulsion PCR, and DNA nanoball library construction that involves rolling circle amplification.
*cost per run ranges between $1,200 and $2,500, depending on the type of library construction.
