Saluseq PRO
Manufacturer – Salus Biomed
Description: Salus PRO is a a medium-throughput, benchtop Next-Generation Sequencing
(NGS) sequencing platform having Dual Sequencing Units that utilizes the Sequencing-by-
Synthesis (SBS) principles, integrated with proprietary technical advancements such as larger
optics delivering 100% FOV, rapid chemistry systems, and supports flexible applications with
various chip sizes and read lengths with high-density chip design.
Key Features and Highlights:
Throughput per run: 4 Gb ~ 600 Gb (depending on chip size and mode).
Reads per run: 80 M to 1000 M (per chip, the device runs two chips)
Run time: 4.8 hr ~ 42 hr (depending on sequencing method & read length)
Accuracy and Quality: It is engineered for high accuracy, with Q30 scores often reported to be ≥90% for shorter reads.
Applications: The platform is versatile and engineered to excel across multiple applications, including:
WES, WGS, RNA-Seq, Single-cell sequencing,
Personalized Diagnosis, Environmental DNA (eDNA),
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT),
Targeted NGS (tNGS),
Infectious Disease Detection (e.g., Targeted Pathogen Sequencing, mNGS),
Small & Large Panel for Tumor Companion Diagnostics,
Small & Large Panel for Genetic Diseases (e.g., Deafness, Metabolism)
16S rRNA/rDNA Sequencing,
Pan-cancer Early Screening (small panel to large panels including CGPs)
Flexible Output: It offers various read lengths and sequencing modes:
Single-End (SE) runs, such as SE 50, SE 75, SE 100, SE400.
Paired-End (PE) runs, such as PE100, PE 150, PE 300.
Total data output per run can vary based on the reagent set and run mode/read length: it ca generate from 4Gb to 300Gb data per flowcell. For example, a SE 50 run can yield >4Gb data in 4.8 hours.
Index Hopping: It has a low index hopping rate, reported as ≤0.0004%.
System Design: The instrument is compact, with dimensions (for one model): 1265 mm(W) × 700 mm (D)× 675 mm (H); Weight, 210 Kg.
