MGI Tech (MGI) introduced the latest addition to its range of sequencers, the portable and easy-to-use DNBSEQ-E25 platform, for the European and African market. In addition, the company showcased its current offering of laboratory automation and sequencing products, including the DNBSEQ-G99 and the entire workflow for the Million Microbiomes from humans Project (MMHP), at the 34thEuropean Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ESCMID Global also known as ECCMID 2024). During the event taking place from 27-30 April in Barcelona, MGI and ABL Diagnostics (Woippy, France, Euronext: ABLD - ISIN: FR001400AHX6) are pleased to announce its partnership and the compatibility of ABL Diagnostics' DeepChek assays with MGI's DNBSEQ??

platforms. Introducing the portable DNBSEQ-E25 for European and African customers: Answering the question "What if sequencing capabilities could be mobile?" MGI's product under its E-series, DNBSEQ-E25 is a portable, user-friendly sequencer with a daily data throughput of up to 7.5 G. Built on the newly designed self-luminous biochemical system, the E25 has upgraded its sequencing system, flowcells, and sequencing cartridge, while featuring built-in bioinformatics. Its ease of setup means it is ready to run within minutes, and a quick turnaround time means it takes only 20 hours for PE150 from DNB to FASTQ data. DNBSEQ-E25 meets the application needs for infectious diseases, small genome sequencing, small panels and strand verification.

The sequencer is now available for European and African customers. Empowering microbiology laboratories through collaboration with ABL Diagnostics: Moreover, at this year's ESCMID Global 2024, MGI announced a technical assessment of solutions by ABL Diagnostics (ABL), a Euronext-listed company that develops molecular biology assays and software for microbiology genotyping. The ABL DeepChek® assays have been successfully tested on MGI's DNBSEQ-G400 and DNBSEQ-G99 platforms. Further verification and validation studies of the DeepChek® assays will also be performed on the newly launched DNBSEQ-E25.

ABL offers a unique portfolio of assays and downstream analysis software systems for laboratories looking to implement microbiology genotyping through DNA sequencing, covering a broad range of infectious diseases for clinical diagnostics and research applications. Showcasing MGI's advanced life science product portfolio at ESCMID Global 2024: In addition to DNBSEQ-E25, several products from MGI's portfolio of advanced laboratory automation, sequencing platforms and microbiome metagenomics sequencing platform will be on display for customers and partners to explore, including the DNBSEQ-T7, an ultra-high throughput sequencer capable of achieving more than 20,000 of 30X WGS per year, and DNBSEQ-G99 boasting one of the fastest speeds in the world among those with the same throughput. Moreover, the company exhibited two automated sample preparation systems, MGISP-960 and MGISP-Smart 8, MGISTP-7000 high-throughput automated sample transfer processing system, as well as the MGI Platform for Fast Microbial Identification (PFI) with built-in species database for simplified analysis of high-throughput genetic sequencing of more than 27,600 microorganisms. MGI welcomes all customers, distributors, and partners to Booth D23, located in Exhibition Hall 7 in Fira Barcelona Gran Via, to experience first-hand and learn more about its high-quality sequencers and automation platforms during ESCMID Global 2024.
