Genomic research and diagnostic firm OGT has announced the expansion of its SureSeq Universal NGS Unique Dual Index (UDI) range, enabling laboratories to multiplex up to 384 uniquely indexed samples in a single sequencing run.
Compatible with existing SureSeq workflows and software, expanded UDI capabilities provide a straightforward path for laboratories looking to scale throughput while maintaining established processes and data quality.
As sample volumes continue to increase, many high-throughput laboratories are looking for ways to maximise their NGS capacity without needing to modify existing workflows. The expanded SureSeq Universal NGS UDI offering addresses this challenge by increasing indexing capacity from 96 to 384 unique dual indexes. With this expansion, laboratories can process more samples and better utilise high-capacity Illumina sequencing systems, increasing operational efficiency and reducing per-sample run costs. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing SureSeq workflows, the expanded UDI capability eliminates the need to modify workflow design. Laboratories can scale operations while continuing to work with the SureSeq solutions they already know and trust.
"As sequencing demand continues to grow, laboratories need practical ways to increase throughput without adding complexity," said Gareth Thomson, Executive Vice President of Commercial Operations at OGT. "By expanding SureSeq Universal NGS indexing capacity to 384 samples per run, we're helping laboratories reduce batching constraints and costs per sample to maximise the value of their existing sequencing infrastructure. All the while, customers can still expect the same workflow consistency and performance they rely on from SureSeq."
The expanded SureSeq Universal NGS UDI offering is designed to deliver performance equivalent to existing UDI 1–96 index sets while supporting confident, multiplexed sequencing through unique dual indexing. With the expanded offering of available UDIs, OGT continues its commitment to providing scalable genomic solutions created by scientists, for scientists.
OGT’s wide range of haematological malignancy-focused SureSeq NGS panels, including the recently launched SureSeq Myeloid MRD Plus NGS Panel, give clinical research laboratories the throughput and confidence to extract clear, comprehensive genomics insights at scale.
