What is the MiSeqDx?

The MiSeqDx instrument is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-regulated and Conformite Europeene in vitro diagnostic (CE-IVD)-marked platform for NGS. The MiSeqDx instrument meets stringent performance characteristics so you can feel confident you are generating accurate and reliable data.

What are Ruo products?

The term RUO refers to devices that are in the laboratory phase of development. The term IUO refers to devices that are in the product testing phase of development. development to determine correct settings, subcomponents, subassemblies, basic operational characteristics, and possible use methods.

What is IVD medical term?

In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests that can detect disease, conditions and infections. In vitro simply means ‘in glass’, meaning these tests are typically conducted in test tubes and similar equipment, as opposed to in vivo tests, which are conducted in the body itself.

What is the difference between IVD and RUO?

Normally, IVDs are subject to regulatory requirements (for example, according to the IVDR or FDA) based on their risk class. However, RUO products do not fall within the definition of “in vitro diagnostic medical devices” given by the IVDR or the relevant FDA regulations.

What is an IVD vs Ruo?

In essence, RUO products are reagents, instruments, or systems under development and evaluated for their potential use as IVDs (Evaluation of design, performance, usability, etc.). RUO product are essentially unregulated in the U.S but must be labelled with the following statement: “For Research Use Only.

How much does a NextSeq cost?

By the fourth quarter of 2020, Illumina plans to bring to market NextSeq 1000, which has a list price of $210,000, a maximum output of 120 Gb, and a sequencing cost of $30 per Gb.

What is P5 and P7 Illumina?

The P5 region is cleaved, resulting in clusters containing only fragments which are attached by the P7 region. This ensures that all copies are sequenced in the same direction. The sequencing primer anneals to the P5 end of the fragment, and begins the sequencing by synthesis process.

Why is it called P5 and P7?

P5 and P7 are names given by Illumina to the oligo sequences that bind to the flow cell. High throughput sequencing is frequently used to discover the location of regulatory interactions on chromatin.
