Long-read Sequencing
& uHMW DNA

Unlock the full power of long-read sequencing with ultra-high molecular weight DNA — starting from the extraction.

The Challenge

Long reads demand long, intact DNA

Long-read sequencing platforms like Oxford Nanopore and PacBio deliver their best results with ultra-high molecular weight (uHMW) DNA — fragments exceeding 50 kb. Conventional extraction methods shear DNA, producing fragments too short to exploit long-read advantages. Getting truly intact, high-molecular-weight DNA from clinical or complex samples remains a major bottleneck.

Our Approach

Purpose-built extraction for long-read workflows.

Cross-linker Cartridge Technology

abGenix™ X uses a proprietary cross-linker cartridge that gently captures and releases genomic DNA with minimal shearing — delivering uHMW DNA fragments suitable for ultra-long read sequencing.

Compatible with Leading Platforms

uHMW DNA from abGenix™ X is optimised for Oxford Nanopore and PacBio sequencing, enabling de novo assembly, structural variant detection, and methylation analysis.

Clinical Sequencing Downstream

Pair with abSEQ™ for short-read clinical sequencing — or use abGenix™ X output directly on long-read platforms for research and translational applications.
