The first HiFi benchtop system – bringing industry-leading and exceptionally accurate long reads to your lab.
No batching and no waiting. Manage project times more effectively by sequencing in-house and control your timelines from start to finish.
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.
Take a 3D tour of the Vega system to see key features, setup, workflows and more.
The first HiFi benchtop system – bringing industry-leading and exceptionally accurate long reads to your lab.
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.
The Vega SMRT Cell is the heart of HiFi sequencing and is powered by a semiconductor device to deliver single-molecule insights in real time.
The Vega sequencing plate holds everything you need – sample and reagents – ready to power your next game-changing insight.
A push-button run setup links the Vega sequencing plate to SMRT Link run design. Intuitive design and tactile confirmations reduce errors and steps to get to results.
No fuss, just functionality with standard power and networking for a true plug-and-play experience.
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.
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.
