Ravi Sachidanandam, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Oncological Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
 
 
“The biggest advantages of the NextSeq 500 System are its throughput, optimal price point, and fast turnaround time. The installation was easy and we were able to start running projects on it immediately.”

ALAN LEMMON, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Scientific Computing, Florida State University
 
 
“We found that we can perform a phylogenetic project for ~1% of the cost of traditional PCR + Sanger approaches and ~5% of the cost of modern Amplicon + NGS approaches.”

BYUNG-KWAN CHO, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University
 
 
“Offering a single sample format, MiSeq gives us speed. It's one of the system's best features.”

KANGPU XU, Ph.D. Full Professor and Canada Research Chair in Medical Genomics, Infectious Disease Research Center, Faculty of Medicine, Centre Hospitalier Université Laval (CHUL)
 
 
“We need a procedure that can be completed in 12 hours. We use the Nextera kits to cut the library prep from one day to half a day, saving 4 or 5 hours.”

ELIOT SHEARER Predoctoral Research Fellow, M.D./Ph.D. Program, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine
 
 
“Our goal is to run all 66 genes on the MiSeq system with an overall turnaround time of two to three months, compared to running one gene in the same amount of time with Sanger sequencing.”

GRAHAM TAYLOR, Ph.D. FRCPath Translational Genomics Unit, Leeds University President of the Human Genome Variation Society
 
 
“MiSeq has a very simple workflow…We don't lose any time preparing emulsion PCR libraries.”
READ MORE
John Lester Facilities Manager for the DNA Sequencing Facility at the University of Cambridge
 
 
“Now that we have the NextSeq 500 system, we can compete with core laboratories and deliver results quickly at a competitive price.”

ANDREW FELLOWES, Ph.D., FHGSA, FFSc (RCPA) Scientist in Charge, Molecular Pathology Diagnostic Development, Department of Pathology, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre
 
 
“MiSeq and TruSeq Custom Amplicon introduce huge advantages in simplifying and streamlining the workflow, enabling us to deliver results within a clinically relevant time frame.”
READ MORE
DAVID BUCK, Ph.D. Head of High-Throughout Genomics, Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford
 
 
“I think we can start referring to the data that's generated on MiSeq as the new gold standard.”
READ MORE
TIM STINEAR, Ph.D. Principal Research Fellow, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Melbourne
 
 
“You are getting significantly more data and higher quality data from a MiSeq run.”
READ MORE
BRYAN PAEPER Research Consultant, Northwest Genomics Center, University of Washington
 
 
“MiSeq does exactly what it's supposed to. It works in the specified amount of time. It produces the specified data quality. I've actually been really impressed.”
READ MORE
JAMES HADFIELD Genomics Core Director, Cambridge Research Institute
 
 
“Quite simply, we'll be able to do projects that we would have held off doing in the past such as single-end, long-read sequencing, and method development.”
READ MORE
JACOB KITZMAN Doctoral Candidate, Department of Genome Sciences at University of Washington
 
 
“The MiSeq turnaround time is excellent and the throughput is high. It gives us confidence in whether our library is going to be good or not, saving us money and helping prioritize samples for the HiSeq.”
READ MORE
Norma Neff, Ph.D. DNA Sequencing Core Director
Stanford University Medical Center
 
 
“The data quality that we get off the NextSeq 500 system at 2 x 75 bp is exactly what we’re looking for in our studies.”
READ MORE
Raja Mugasimangalam, Ph.D. President, Founder and CEO of Genotypic Technology
 
 
“The faster sequencing speed of the NextSeq 500 system is enabling us to handle a higher workload.”
