The CQLS is pleased to announce our new Illumina MiSeq i100 sequencer. As Illumina phases out their original MiSeq we have upgraded to the new MiSeq i100. The CQLS MiSeq i100 sequencing service is now available.
Illumina’s new MiSeq is a lower output sequencer compared to the NextSeq or NovaSeq. The new MiSeq i100 offers similar flow cell sizes to the original MiSeq with greatly reduced sequencing costs and additional sequencing lengths, including 500bp paired end runs. Updated prices are found on our fee site: CQLS Service Fees.
Illumina’s MiSeq i100 is a patterned flow cell like the NextSeq. Patterned flow cells are subject to low levels of index hopping. We suggest reviewing and adopting the mitigation techniques outlined by Illumina: “Minimize index hopping in multiplexed runs.” Please contact us with questions.
CQLS will host an information session with Illumina on Friday, February 20th at 12:30. Food will be provided. Please join us to learn about the MiSeq i100.
The CQLS’ original MiSeq service contract will end on June 30th. Please contact us if you would like help transitioning experiments to the new MiSeq i100.
The Illumina MiSeq i100 purchase was made possible by the DRI 2025 Research Equipment Reserve Fund.
