Watch this presentation from PAG 33 to explore the 2026 PacBio product roadmap, featuring major chemistry updates and new application workflows.
Global Marketing Manager Jacob Brandenburg details how the upcoming SPRQ-Nx chemistry and SMRT Cell reuse capabilities are designed to lower sequencing costs while maintaining high data quality for plant and animal genomes. The session also introduces the SLiC workflow for chromosome-scale assemblies and expands on multiomics capabilities like Fiber-seq, Kinnex kits for annotation, and high-throughput automation.
*What you’ll learn*
* How the SPRQ-Nx chemistry enables SMRT Cell reuse to reduce genome costs.
* How to utilize the single library chromosome-scale assembly (SLiC) workflow to pool HiFi and CiFi libraries.
* The latest updates for the Vega system, including lower input requirements and native 5hmC calling.
* Workflow options for high-throughput applications, including long-read low-pass sequencing and seqWell LongPlex kits.
*Featured speakers*
