The Illumina NextSeq 550Dx instrument is intended for sequencing DNA libraries prepared by adding sample indices and capture sequences to amplified targets. These libraries are captured on a flow cell and sequenced on the instrument using sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry. SBS chemistry uses a reversible-terminator method to detect single nucleotide bases incorporated into growing DNA strands. Instrument software performs image analysis and base calling, assigning a quality score to each base for each sequencing cycle. When primary analysis finishes, secondary analysis processes base calls on the instrument. The NextSeq 550Dx instrument uses different secondary analysis modules depending on the workflow. For the germline or somatic variant calling modules, data processing includes de-multiplexing, FASTQ file generation, alignment, variant calling, and generation of variant call format (VCF) files containing information regarding variants found at specific positions in a reference genome.

The Illumina MiSeqDx is intended for targeted sequencing of human DNA using Illumina sequencing consumables and libraries prepared from human genomic DNA extracted from peripheral whole blood or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. Libraries are prepared by amplifying targets and adding sample indexes and capture sequences. Sample libraries are captured on a flow cell and sequenced on the instrument using sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry. SBS chemistry uses a reversible-terminator method to detect single nucleotide bases as they are incorporated into growing DNA strands. The Real-Time Analysis (RTA) software performs image analysis and base calling, and assigns a quality score to each base for each sequencing cycle.The MiSeqDx instrument is not intended for whole genome or de novo sequencing. The MiSeqDx instrument is to be used with registered and listed, cleared, or approved IVD reagents and analytical software.

The NovaSeq™ 6000Dx Instrument is intended for sequencing DNA libraries with in vitro diagnostic assays. For its input, the NovaSeq™ 6000Dx uses libraries generated from DNA where sample indexes and capture sequences are added to amplified targets. Sample libraries are captured on a flow cell and sequenced on the instrument using sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry. SBS chemistry uses a reversible-terminator method to detect fluorescently labeled single nucleotide bases as they are incorporated into growing DNA strands. The Real-Time Analysis (RTA) software performs image analysis and base calling and assigns a quality score to each base for each sequencing cycle. When primary analysis finishes, secondary analysis can be executed on the included and required Illumina DRAGEN Server for NovaSeq™ 6000Dx to process base calls. The NovaSeq™ 6000Dx uses different secondary analysis applications depending on the workflow.

The Illumina MiSeqDx is a sequencing instrument that measures fluorescence signals of labeled nucleotides through theuse of instrument specific reagents and flow cells (MiSeqDx Universal Kit 1.0), imaging hardware, and data analysissoftware.
