SHENZHEN, China, 31 May 2024 – MGI Tech Co., Ltd. (“MGI”), a company committed to building core tools and technologies that drive innovation in life science, recently set a new record for sequencing applications by successfully running sample testing on its cutting-edge DNBSEQ-E25 and DNBSEQ-G99 platforms on Mount Everest.
In addition to withstanding extreme conditions, the two sequencers showcased superior performance with high data quality, reliability and stability. Last week, MGI’s E25 and G99 sequencers accompanied a scientific team in their expedition towards Mount Everest from the north ridge. At an altitude of 5,200 meters, the E25, with its compact and portable design, easy operation, and low requirements for the operating environment, assisted researchers in sample testing and presented high-quality multi-omics data.
Previously, it followed the “Exploration One” research vessel into the Mariana Trench area conduct scientific research. Under the challenging condition of 5°C, which is difficult for sequencers to withstand, the DNBSEQ-E25 successfully operated stably. A single SE100 sequencing run took only 5 hours, with a Q30 value exceeding 90%, a low error rate, and the quality of the output data meeting the requirements for bioinformatics analysis.
