Maximum parallelism of PromethION: up to 48 independent cells for service laboratories
Separate Sequencing Unit and Data Acquisition Unit for continuous operation
PromethION 48 is the maximum family parallelism for sequencing centers and genomic production programs.
The platform allows for independent management of up to 48 high-performance cells and bascolling on an integrated computational circuit, suitable for population sequencing, large genomes and service laboratories.
Up to 48 PromethION Flow Cells; current chemistry delivers up to 200GB per cell. A-Series includes separate Sequencing Unit and Data Acquisition Unit, supports simultaneous and time-spread launches; the exact configuration of the GPU, storage and power is fixed in the delivery specification.
