10x Genomics libraries contain P5 and P7 adapters, which can be used for Illumina sequencing. 10x Genomics assays can also be modified to enable sequencing on various long- and short-read sequencing platforms, with some platforms requiring third-party analysis tools. Some variation in assay performance is expected based on the sequencer choice.
The 10x Genomics Compatible Products page contains a list of sequencing platforms compatible with 10x Genomics libraries.
The number of cycles required for each sequencing read, and the recommended sequencing read depth, can be found in the relevant User Guide.
The sequencers listed below have been verified as compatible with the indicated library type. Sequencer compatibility testing was performed either directly by 10x Genomics or by the Compatible Partner with data review by 10x Genomics.
Not all library types have been tested with every sequencer. For clarity, the table below indicates which library types were tested and which have not been tested. Compatibility cannot be guaranteed with library types that were not tested.
The Sequencing Handbook CG000809 contains additional resources for various 10x Genomics libraries, including:
- Number of cycles for reach read & read depth
- Loading concentration recommendation
- Index combinations for low plex pool
- Library pooling compatibilit
