What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Mature, globally supported, peer-reviewed-validated platform with on-device real-time basecalling for two independent flow cells; guardrails needed because pricing opacity, vendor lock-in toward the integrated line, and loss of P2 Solo flexibility are real adoption costs.
Next
Pilot a single P2i unit against an actual long-read workload (native DNA read N50 >50 kb target), validate real (not theoretical 290 Gb/flow-cell) yield, and confirm the locked integrated workflow does not block any required custom/adaptive-sequencing protocols before committing.
