The MiSeq has been a reliable workhorse in our lab for nearly a decade.

 

Average Rating 3.0

Application Area:

Genomics

From my perspective, the MiSeq has been the workhorse of our laboratory, consistently delivering high-quality data run after run. Initially, we primarily used the platform for small panels in human genomic disease studies, but over the last four years, it has been instrumental in generating a substantial amount of data for metagenomics research. It’s hard to believe this compact platform has been running smoothly for nearly a decade with minimal maintenance.

Easy to handle, great results!

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Medcal genetics

Device is super easy to handle. Helpful technical support. Most protocols for library preperation are aligned to Illumina devices like MiniSeq.

Great product, excellent company

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

NGS of amplification products of genes of interest

Illumina products in general are exceptionally user friendly and intuitive to use. Additionally, Illumina’s customer support is superb and their help troubleshooting is extensive.

Review Date: 28 Sept 2022 | Illumina

As always, we were very content with the service and analysis provided.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Analyzing microbial composition of car interiors

The sequencing and analysis of microbial composition helped us to get an overview of the microbiome, which is present in car interiors. Sadly I can not say much more about results as they ought to be held in nondisclosure. Our university has a pipeline to further process data given from the analysis of microbial communities so it was very easy to use for us. The customer service also reacted fast to our request to send an estimate of cost and for further consultation.

Best quality results on sequencing

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Microbiology

Excellent equipment with an outstanding performance in 16S sequencing.

Review Date: 1 Oct 2021 | Illumina

Great tool, once familiarized. It is easy to use and very useful.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Sequencing

It is a great high-throughput technology, you can sequence multiple samples at once. We mostly use it for sequencing BCR (B cell receptor) CDR regions using kits. It is easy to use, but the sequence analysis requires some expertise from the user on the software usage and retrieving the data. The basic training given by Illumina is not sufficient enough, you may need additional training and the purchase of the software not included with the instrument.

Excellent results providing personal sequencer.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

A high valuable sequencing system

What a instrument it is. As the name indicates it is a personal sequencer with great work capacity and easy to use features. Highly recommended and this machine provides very efficient results. Good one to have in the sequencing labs.

Review Date: 9 Jun 2021 | Illumina

The results were reproducible when run by anyone in the lab!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Targeted genomic sequencing to study clonal dynamics in cancers

We were able to very quickly set up and run a targeted sequencing pipeline to study the clonal dynamics of many human tumours and their models (patient-derived xenografts) in vivo.

Review Date: 14 May 2021 | Illumina

Great tool to consider purchasing.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Sequencing

Illumina Miseq is a great tool for sequencing genes or DNA of interest. The only disadvantage is it's very expensive. All the consumables and reagents are very expensive too. You should consider purchasing it only if needed and can be used to the fullest potential. Initially, it will take time to learn, but once you get used to it, it is not that hard. Tech support is great. You need a lot of support from 3rd party as well for the kits and sequence analysis software.

Review Date: 7 May 2021 | Illumina

Fantastic instrument, great customer support!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Sequencing of DNA

A great piece of equipment, small footprint, reliable, easy to use and provides excellent quality data (generally looking for millions of reads over a 50-300 bp range depending upon the kit used). After sales support is excellent - prompt to answer queries and in troubleshooting any issues we have had. Have been using this for several years and few if any issues that were not quickly resolved all the while generating fantastic quality data - would highly recommend to anyone looking for a smaller DNA sequencer!
