n6 is proud to announce a strategic partnership with\u00a0SeqCenter, who is launching a groundbreaking full-length 16S sequencing service at FEMS Micro. This collaboration leverages\u00a0n6’s iconPCR\u2122\u00a0technology to empower researchers with superior data quality, reproducibility, and streamlined workflows, making advanced microbiome research accessible to all. n6 is excited to support SeqCenter in setting a new standard for microbiome analysis and to showcase the transformative potential of iconPCR in next-generation sequencing.<\/p>\n
Why this partnership matters for researchers<\/p>\n
Reduced chimeras, minimized bias:\u00a0iconPCR\u00a0dramatically reduces chimeric sequences\u00a0and amplification bias, delivering results that accurately reflect the microbial landscape of every sample.
\nFull-length 16S resolution:\u00a0Leveraging PacBio long-read sequencing, SeqCenter now offers species- and strain-level taxonomic resolution, far surpassing short-read methods.
\nConsistent, reproducible results:\u00a0Studies show iconPCR-prepared libraries retain more high-confidence reads, detect up to 10\u00d7 more unique amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), and achieve tighter clustering in diversity analyses, demonstrating robust and reliable performance.
\nAutomated, streamlined workflow:\u00a0With automated normalization and pooling, researchers simply send samples and receive actionable insights, reducing hands-on time and minimizing manual errors.
\nTurnkey solution:\u00a0SeqCenter manages the entire process, from sample intake to comprehensive analysis, making advanced microbiome profiling accessible to all researchers.<\/p>\n
A partnership for all NGS workflows<\/p>\n
The n6 and SeqCenter collaboration is not limited to full-length 16S sequencing. Any next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow where data quality is paramount can benefit from iconPCR’s transformative capabilities\u2014including metagenomics<\/a>, environmental, clinical, and industrial applications.<\/p>\n Meet the experts at FEMS micro<\/p>\n
