The MGISEQ-2000RS FCL sequencing kit features high throughput and low cost per Gb; however, in some situations users don't have enough samples to fill all the lanes, resulting in a much higher run cost. To provide a flexible package, we've developed the MGISEQ-2000RS FCS Sequencing Reagent Kit, which has lower output to make it easier to fully saturate the lanes, while also increasing run speed and flexibility to allow for different combinations of low and medium throughput sequencing. Run more,...
