Harness the power of NGS
Leveraging the speed and affordability of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology and the accuracy of sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry, the iSeq 100 System enables virtually any lab to acquire powerful NGS technology.
Deeper insights with NGS
By providing both higher data resolution and deeper coverage compared to qPCR and Sanger sequencing, the iSeq 100 System allows greater statistical confidence for calling variants or low-frequency alleles with faster time to results and fewer hands-on steps.1,2
Enhance efficiency and autonomy
Compared to larger sequencing systems or outsourcing, the iSeq 100 System provides faster and cost-effective small-scale runs, independence from outsourcing, and control of the sequencing process from beginning to end.
Flexibility at your fingertips
With a maximum output of 1.2 Gb for longest supported read length, the iSeq 100 System offers rapid, multiplexed sequencing for a range of DNA and RNA sequencing applications, including small-genome sequencing, targeted gene sequencing, and gene expression profiling.
Implementing Illumina NGS is a lot easier than you think

a. For MiniSeq High Output Reagent Kit only.
b. For MiSeq Reagent Kit v3 only.
c. A dedicated DRAGEN server is paired with an Illumina sequencing system and can be used to plan secondary analysis as part of a sequencing run using the Illumina Run Manager. An on-premises DRAGEN server does not communicate directly with the sequencing system but can ingest and process data from any Illumina sequencing system via a command-line.

Software for the iSeq 100 System
We have taken most of the manual work out of the NGS data analysis process. Local Run Manager software is installed on every iSeq 100 System and automatically performs on-instrument data analysis. The software has a user-friendly touch-screen interface for starting a sequencing run, monitoring run status, viewing results, and analyzing data.
Installation and support
The iSeq 100 System is easy to install on your own. A variety of support resources are available to help you get started. Illumina scientists and engineers are at hand to provide support and training, either online or in person, to help bring laboratory personnel quickly up to speed. For long-term maintenance, the system is covered by a one-year warranty that includes a replacement instrument or field service engineer support (depending on region) to minimize downtime.
