Introduction

The Illumina

®

MiniSeq™ System provides high-quality, industry-standard Illumina sequencing technology with

the convenience of an easy-to-use cost-effective desktop system.

Features

u

High-quality sequencing—The MiniSeq System enables small genome, amplicon, targeted enrichment,
and RNA sequencing using low library volumes.

u

MiniSeq system software—The MiniSeq System includes a suite of integrated software that controls
instrument operations, processes images, and generates base calls. The suite includes on-instrument
data analysis software and data transfer tools for analysis using other options, such as BaseSpace.

u

On-instrument data analysis—The Local Run Manager software analyzes run data according to the
analysis module specified for the run. A suite of analysis modules are included in the software.

u

BaseSpace

®

integration—The sequencing workflow is integrated with BaseSpace, the Illumina

genomics computing environment for run monitoring, data analysis, storage, and collaboration.
Output files are streamed in real time to BaseSpace or BaseSpace Onsite for analysis.

u

Convenient consumable loading—A clamping mechanism positions the flow cell as it is loaded onto the
instrument. A single-use prefilled reagent cartridge provides reagents required for a run and subsequent
instrument wash. The flow cell and reagent cartridge include integrated identification to enable accurate
tracking.

Additional Resources

The

MiniSeq System support pages

on the Illumina website provide additional resources. These resources

include software, training, compatible products, and the following documentation. Always check support
pages for the latest versions.
