VEGA benchtop system
Explore The Vega System
The first HiFi benchtop system – bringing industry-leading and exceptionally accurate long reads to your lab.
Premium HiFi Data, Accessibly Priced
Priced at USD $169,000 and $1,100 per run1, Vega delivers 60 Gb of long reads per run of the best-in-class accurate HiFi reads and complete genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic data for individual labs.
Sequence Your Way
No batching and no waiting. Manage project times more effectively by sequencing in-house and control your timelines from start to finish.
Worry-Free Workflows
Adopting HiFi reads is now simpler than ever with the PacBio universal HiFi workflow – from extraction to data analysis. Combined with easy, intuitive run setup, the Vega system delivers reliable and consistent results.
Industry-Leading Long-Read Technology
HiFi sequencing delivers 99.9% read accuracy, enabling you to achieve long read lengths without sacrificing accuracy to address complex biological questions.
With over 1,000 peer-reviewed publications in 2023 alone and more than 1,200 PacBio sequencers globally, Vega now joins the trusted HiFi portfolio, providing data equivalent to the Revio system for consistent, high-quality results.
Turn Your Lab Into Tomorrow’s Discovery Hotspot
One Vega SMRT Cell means…
3 full-length RNA transcriptomes
48 PureTarget repeat expansion panels
384 microbial genomes
And more…
Small and Mighty
- Innovative Revio technology shrunk to fit on a benchtop – equivalent HiFi data in a reduced instrument footprint.
- Seamless integration with HiFi library prep workflows and SMRT Link run management software
. - On-instrument primary analysis, including DeepConsensus, methylation calling, and optional barcode demultiplexing in every run.
Sequence Your Way
A single SMRT Cell per run means no waiting, putting you in control of your data, timelines, and budget. By sequencing in-house, you can streamline your workflows, finish projects faster, and tailor every run to your application needs—all with an instrument designed to fit your lab and your experiments.
Continuous productivity: Vega lets you pre-stage consumables for the next run—keeping you one step ahead and boosting efficiency.
Design + Control Experiments With SMRT Link Software
Web-based SMRT Link software supports sequencing prep, run design, and data analysis in a single interface across a wide range of applications.
Vega transfers sequencing data to your preferred network or directly to Amazon, Google, or Microsoft cloud.
SMRT Analysis provides fast, easy, and powerful computational tools and workflows to get complete views of the full genome or specific region of interest and exceptionally accurate variant calling like TRGT, and more.
