* A quality score (Q-score) is a prediction of the probability of an error in base calling. The percentage of bases > Q30 is averaged across the entire run. Quality scores are based on NextSeq Reagent Kits run on the NextSeq 1000 and 2000 system using an Illumina PhiX control library. Performance may vary based on library type and quality, insert size, loading concentration, and other experimental factors.
† Run time includes cluster generation, sequencing, and base calling on a NextSeq 1000 or NextSeq 2000 system.

The NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 Sequencing Systems take advantage of an integrated cartridge that includes reagents, fluidics, and the waste holder, simplifying library loading and instrument use. After the run, use the recycling tool to separate multiple plastic components of the reagent cartridge for recycling according to local regulations.
To take full advantage of higher density flow cells, the NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 Sequencing Systems feature a novel super resolution optical system that yields highly accurate imaging data with greater resolution and higher sensitivity than traditional benchtop systems. This miniaturization provides scalability for a variety of output quantities while maintaining the same high standards of data quality enjoyed by NextSeq 550 System users today.

The NextSeq 1000 and 2000 systems leverage proven sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technology to to deliver highly accurate data and robust performance. SBS is the same proven technology used by all Illumina sequencing platforms. The technology supports massively parallel sequencing using a proprietary fluorescently labeled reversible terminator method.
The NextSeq 1000 and 2000 systems utilize innovative patterned flow cell technology, which offers an exceptional level of throughput for diverse sequencing applications. Patterned flow cells contain billions of nanowells at fixed locations, a design that provides even spacing of sequencing clusters. This delivers significant increases in sequencing reads and total output.
Lossless genomic compression is available on-instrument with the NextSeq 1000 and NextSeq 2000 Sequencing Systems. This technology uses an ultra-fast mapping scheme to map reads onto a reference genome, and then store only the data needed to regenerate those reads: a position and a list of differences.
