Product description

High-throughput sequencer using sequencing by synthesis, producing up to 1 Gb data per run for genome analysis.

The Illumina Solexa sequencing system, introduced in 2006, revolutionised DNA sequencing by significantly enhancing speed and reducing costs. This next-generation sequencer enabled researchers to decode entire genomes efficiently, laying the groundwork for advancements in genomics and personalised medicine.

Key features include:

  • High-throughput sequencing: Capable of generating up to 1 gigabase (Gb) of data per run, facilitating comprehensive genomic analyses.
  • Sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technology: Utilises reversible dye-terminators for accurate base-by-base DNA sequencing.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Dramatically reduced the cost of sequencing, making whole-genome analysis more accessible.

The instrument has been instrumental in various scientific fields, including genomics, molecular biology, and biotechnology. It has been widely adopted in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical diagnostics facilities.

Since its release in 2006, the Illumina Solexa system has remained a cornerstone in genomic research, underpinning major projects such as the 100,000 Genomes Project and the International Cancer Genome Project. Its legacy continues to influence current sequencing technologies and methodologies.

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.
