ILLUMINA GENOME ANALYZER IIx

The Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx is a massively parallel sequencing platform for analyzing nucleic acid libraries in gigabase level. The GAIIx system produces over 50 Gb (320 M reads) of sequence in a run. The clonal bridge amplification within the physically enclosed flow cell allows quantitative applications such as gene expression profiling. An additional dimension for the Illumina GAII platform is introduced by the paired-end module which enables us to generate multiple sequence reads per flow cell. Paired reads are essential for detecting structural variants (paired-end & mate pair reads) and for multiplexing samples (indexing tags).
