How Does It Work?
The UG 100 dramatically reduces sequencing costs by introducing a novel sequencing substrate built on 200-mm silicon wafers, a core material in the electronics industry. Instead of traditional microfluidics, the system uses contactless spin-coating, a manufacturing technique adapted from semiconductor fabrication.
Its sequencing chemistry is largely natural, with only a small fraction of nucleotides labeled with fluorescent tags—significantly reducing reagent complexity and cost.
During each cycle, one nucleotide type (A, C, T, or G) is added across the entire wafer. The surface is then scanned to determine base incorporation. This shifts base calling from identifying which base was added to determining how many were incorporated. The fluorescent labels are subsequently removed using the same spin-coating process.
The system’s high-speed circular motion enables rapid, high-resolution imaging across the full wafer surface.
All of these innovations deliver not only cost and throughput advantages, but also exceptional data quality. With Ultima Genomics’ novel ppmSeq™ technology, single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) can be detected with one-part-per-million accuracy, setting a new standard for sequencing precision.
