Notice Title

Revio Long-Read Sequencer

Notice Description

Supply & installation of the Revio long-read sequencer

Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply, delivery, installation and training of the Revio long-read sequencing system. To include removal & disposal of instrument the Revio has superseded and is replacing.

Options: The University reserves the option to take up extended warranty and maintenance support beyond the three years committed to.

Procurement Information

Edinburgh Genomics, within the University of Edinburgh, is procuring newly-released long-read sequencing technology from PacBio (the Revio system) to supplement the existing instruments it has at its disposal to support a wide range of research groups. This instrument represents a step-change in long-read sequencing, offering 15 times higher capacity at lower running costs than its predecessor. In addition, the new system uses advanced deep learning techniques to further extend the accuracy of the High Fidelity (HiFi) reads, with 90% of bases >=Q30 and median read accuracy >=Q30. The solution allows for higher cost effectiveness, greater sequencing depth or multiplexing of a larger number of samples and enables hard to sequence regions to be accurately resolved at an unprecedented scale. Edinburgh Genomics currently possesses the latest version of competing technology, and this system will complement that suite of instruments to ensure it can provide the best possible support to research.
