The NovaSeq X Series allows you to sequence more deeply to analyze rare variants, or scale up any application to include more samples. By leveraging the NovaSeq X Series 10B and 25B flow cells, you can work with bigger cohorts, faster than ever with the highest level of confidence.
Study liquid biopsies
Perform ctDNA sequencing to detect rare variants and low-frequency signals in liquid biopsy research samples.
Assay challenging genes
Sequence historically challenging, medically relevant genes and better understand genetic disease with Illumina Complete Long Reads.
Sequence single cells
Access the contributions of individual cells in complex tissues by profiling up to millions of single cells in parallel, under more conditions, and at genome-scale.
Perform population studies
Add statistical power and sequence 2.5× more samples by transitioning from the NovaSeq 6000 S4 flow cell to the NovaSeq X 25B flow cell.
Sequence whole genomes
Affordably analyze up to 64 human whole genomes per flow cell to power rare disease research.
Sequence whole exomes
Efficiently identify coding variants for larger cohort groups with the ability to sequence ~750 exomes per NovaSeq X 25B flow cell.
Sequence more samples with the same budget
Exome sequencing was performed on the NovaSeq X Plus System with 25B flow cells and on the NovaSeq 6000 System with S4 flow cells using the same total project budget. This analysis is based on sequencing 8 Gb per exome.
Increase throughput while decreasing time to results
The NovaSeq X Series allows you to sequence more deeply to analyze rare variants, or scale up any application to include more samples. By leveraging the NovaSeq X Series 10B and 25B flow cells, you can work with bigger cohorts, faster than ever with the highest level of confidence. Sequence 2.5x more cells in half the time* with the 25B flow cell on NovaSeq X Plus.

Multiply your discovery power with multiomics
It's now easier to perform a broad range of multiomics studies and add an additional dimension of information with the NovaSeq X Series. Answer the most complex questions in genomics by getting the most information out of every single sample.
By combining multiple methods for deeper insights, you can think bigger with your projects and drive utility. Here are some of the top methods that are validated for the NovaSeq X Series and commonly combined for multiomics studies.
| Common Multiomics Combinations | Benefits | How NovaSeq X Helps | Popular Methods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genomics + Transcriptomics | Measure the functional consequences of genetic variation to annotate and prioritize variants associated with disease |
Automated, push-button onboard secondary analysis for WGS, WES, and RNA-Seq that can run in parallel |
|
| Genomics + Epigenetics | Reveal patterns of gene regulation and how they connect with the genotypes underlying disease, especially in noncoding regions |
Automated onboard independent lane loading to easily sequence multiple omes on the same flow cell |
|
| Transcriptomics + Epigenetics | Directly measure the ties between gene regulation and gene expression, instead of trying to infer those connections |
Seamlessly connected to full suite of DRAGEN secondary analysis pipelines in the cloud |
