Product description

Ultra-high throughput DNA sequencer enabling 18,000 human genomes/year at <$1,000 each with patterned flow cell tech.

Illumina HiSeq X is a high-throughput DNA sequencer designed to revolutionise whole-genome sequencing (WGS) by delivering unprecedented speed and cost efficiency. Launched in 2014, this system was the first to break the $1,000 genome barrier, enabling large-scale genomic studies with unparalleled throughput.

Key features include:

  • Ultra-high throughput: Capable of sequencing over 18,000 human genomes per year at 30x coverage.
  • Cost efficiency: Achieves whole-genome sequencing at a cost of less than $1,000 per genome when used at scale.
  • Patterned flow cell technology: Incorporates billions of nanowells at fixed locations, enhancing data density and accuracy.
  • Scalability: Available in configurations of five (HiSeq X Five) or ten (HiSeq X Ten) instruments to meet varying research demands.

This sequencer is widely utilised in fields such as genomics, biotechnology, cancer research, and population genetics. It is commonly employed by university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical research institutions. The HiSeq X series was discontinued in 2024, but its impact on large-scale genomic research remains significant.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
