Illumina
1. Illumina. Since its founding in 1998, Illumina has become an industry leader with more than 90% of the global sequencing market and an installed base of more than 17,000 sequencing systems. Human DNA contains 3.05 billion base pairs.

How is NGS testing performed?

NGS testing relies on specialized diagnostic equipment to place samples in tiny channels to be separated for sequencing. These microfluidic devices are created by diagnostic device manufacturers and in-vitro diagnostic development companies.
