Evaluation of the Ultima Genomics UG 100 sequencer for low-cost, high-sensitivity metagenomic pathogen detection from cerebrospinal fluid

2025-05-18

Abstract excerpt

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a diagnostic tool allowing near universal pathogen detection directly from clinical specimens. Despite promising clinical data, broad adoption of mNGS has been hindered by high cost and reduced sensitivity relative to targeted nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs). Recently, Ultima Genomics revealed the UG 100 NGS platform which advertises 10 billion reads per $2...
