IVD instruments tailored for clinical labs

Explore in vitro diagnostic (IVD) instruments designed for the clinical lab environment. With easy-to-follow workflows and integrated software, Illumina IVD instruments deliver accurate, reliable screening and diagnostic testing results. Clinical labs can develop and perform their own next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests, run predefined gene panels, or pursue a variety of clinical research applications.

a. 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 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

b. MiSeqDx Instrument and NextSeq 550Dx Instrument libraries generated with TruSeq Custom Amplicon Kit Dx.

c. NovaSeq 6000Dx Instrument libraries generated with Illumina DNA Prep with Enrichment Dx.

d. NovaSeq 6000Dx Instrument specifications are based on a single S4 flow cell.

e. Maximum read length for the MiSeqDx Instrument is 2 x 300 bp, depending on the assay used.

Reproductive health

From preconception to noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), NGS technologies deliver fast, accurate information that can guide prenatal and reproductive care.

NGS in oncology

By providing deeper insights into the molecular underpinnings of tumors, NGS is transforming the future of cancer care and personalized medicine.

Genetic and rare diseases

NGS technologies can help genetic disease researchers identify causative genetic variants and chromosomal aberrations.

Molecular diagnostics

NGS offers the speed and accuracy to enrich human understanding of disease, enabling earlier detection and reducing the time to diagnosis.
