Automated cluster generation system for preparing flow cells on Illumina HiSeq sequencing platforms.
The Illumina cBot 6930 is a dedicated instrument designed to automate the cluster generation process for Illumina's high-throughput sequencing platforms, such as the HiSeq Series. By preparing flow cells with densely packed clusters of DNA fragments, this system ensures optimal sequencing performance and data quality.
This instrument has been widely adopted in fields such as genomics, molecular biology, and biotechnology, where high-throughput sequencing is essential. It is commonly utilised in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical diagnostics facilities.
The cBot 6930 was first released in 2009 and remained a cornerstone in sequencing workflows until its discontinuation in 2021. Illumina provided support for the system through June 30, 2021. For laboratories seeking alternative solutions, Illumina offers a range of updated sequencing platforms and preparatory systems to meet evolving research needs.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
