Scientific discovery is built on the pursuit of “more”. Whether it’s more depth to detect rare variants, more throughput to accelerate population-scale projects, or more layers of data to connect genotypes to cellular phenotypes.
Yet in sequencing, getting more often comes at a cost. Historically, researchers who wanted to scale faced a familiar set of barriers: capital-intensive system swaps, constantly increasing consumable costs, or workflow changes that disrupt hard-won efficiencies. These roadblocks don’t just slow labs down, they slow science down.
Rethinking the cost of curiosity
The challenge isn’t just financial. Discovery tools can help shape the pace of research itself and asking bigger questions becomes riskier so scaling a promising program feels harder. Ultimately, opportunities to accelerate discovery can be missed—not because of the science, but because of the available platform or tools.
This model is outdated. As biology discovery tools advance, technology should evolve and expand capabilities in ways that remove barriers, not add them.
Innovation without inflation
At Element, we’re committed to building systems that grow with your research instead of holding you back. Continued innovation and expanded capabilities should be something you can access quickly, without needing to replace your entire platform.
That’s the philosophy behind AVITI24™. It was designed as a high-performance, dual platform that evolves with your science.
Our most recent addition? Through advanced machine learning, AVITI24 now delivers up to 50% more sequencing output compared to AVITI™—up to 1.5 billion reads per flow cell—while lowering the cost per gigabase more than 30%.
Across applications like whole genome sequencing, RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq, and targeted sequencing, this upgrade translates into tangible benefits: more reads with the same high quality (>90% Q30), more samples per run, and the ability to scale deeper into discovery without added complexity.
See comparison data across these applications and download datasets to explore how increased data output doesn’t compromise data quality.
The upgrade path
And when you’re ready to move beyond sequencing into 5D multiomics, workflows like Teton™ CytoProfiling and Teton Atlas™ with Direct In Sample Sequencing are already built into AVITI24.
For existing AVITI or AVITI LT customers, accessing these expanded capabilities doesn’t require you to buy a new platform. A simple upgrade unlocks AVITI24 performance on the system you already trust with no inflated consumables or system swaps. Just a smarter path forward.
Because your sequencer shouldn’t punish you for wanting more. It should reward your ambition.
