Full description

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) requires the supply, installation, and commissioning of the AVITI24 upgrade system for its existing AVITI sequencing platform.

The AVITI24 upgrade provides:

  • a 50% increase in sequencing output without altering existing workflows or consumables;
  • integrated in situ multiomics capabilities, enabling spatially resolved detection of transcripts, proteins, and morphological markers within intact cellular architecture;
  • a unified platform supporting both Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and high content spatial multiomics.

This upgrade is essential to maintain compatibility with NRC’s existing AVITI infrastructure while expanding analytical capabilities.
