Not awful like PacBio, but not up to the level of the market leaders. They're making lots of claims about future improvements, so we'll have to see. One claim that has (nearly) come true is some fairly significant improvements on the sample prep side with the announcement of their One Touch System which streamlines (replaces?) emPCR. At the very least they're making lots of noise (and probably the focus of a number of competitor strategy meetings).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590569202982138251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374717725359458448.post-75134958916373668772011-04-02T10:21:29.356-07:002011-04-02T10:21:29.356-07:00S-

Signal to noise and the homopolymer resolving power may be the defining characteristic with the improvements in per base addition time-line on the competitions instruments.
