The collaboration will focus on ensuring compatibility between seqWell-developed products and the entire Complete Genomics next-generation sequencing (NGS) and automation portfolios. By developing new sequencing workflow solutions, the companies aim to reduce sequencing turnaround times and increase throughput, benefiting applications in synthetic biology, genomic screening, and environmental surveillance.

Rob Tarbox, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Complete Genomics, emphasized the importance of providing faster and more flexible sequencing solutions tailored to customer needs. The partnership with seqWell enables Complete Genomics to offer a broader range of tools to support various experiments.

Jeff Franz, Director of Product Management at seqWell, highlighted the shared commitment to delivering scalable sequencing workflows at a lower cost. This partnership aims to support a wide range of customers seeking multiplexed sequencing solutions.

Announced at the 2024 Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting in Orlando, Florida, this partnership builds upon previous collaborations announced at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) conference in 2023. Leveraging Complete Genomics' DNBSEQ-G400RS* and seqWell purePlex ™ DNA Library Prep Kit, customers can now access cost-effective and scalable workflows pairing seqWell library prep kits with Complete Genomics' DNBSEQ technologies. The latest development allows customers to utilize seqWell's ExpressPlex ™ library prep kits with Complete Genomics' DNBSEQ-G-99RS* and DNBSEQ-T7RS* sequencers, further enhancing sequencing capabilities.
