Element AVITI System
The Element AVITI System reinvents surface chemistry, base detection, and data analysis to offer a flexible and cost-effective
platform for a variety of next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications. Overarching compatibility with standard NGS libraries provides
a straightforward access point to in-house sequencing while integrated and user-friendly software tools streamline operations.

Powerful Sequencing Unrivaled Cost and Flexibility

The AVITI System combines the performance,
flexibility, and affordability of a benchtop system while
producing superior data quality and per gigabase
(Gb) costs comparable to a larger factory-scale
sequencer. Random access dual flow cell capability
enables independent sequencing start times and
scalable output up to 480 Gb combined.
A wide array of sequencing library inputs can be made compatible for
sequencing on the AVITI System through easy kitted solutions. The intuitive
operating software includes a unique run setup feature that allows tunable
read throughput for shorter run times. When combined with the onboard
tunable read throughput feature at run setup, the highly efficient, single
flow cell reagent design makes ordering and inventory management simple
and economical across a range of cycles and read throughputs.

AVITI System Performance Summary

The AVITI System delivers high-performance sequencing metrics through its simple single flow cell and reagent cartridge design.

AVITI Tunable Throughput for Maximum Control

Read throughput is controlled through the AVITI Operating Software during run setup. This feature gives the user maximum control
over the desired combination of turnaround time, read length, and read depth without the burden of maintaining a complicated
inventory of different flow cells and reagents.

Instrument Layout Parts

The random access dual flow cell design is like having two
sequencing instruments on your benchtop for the cost of
one. Each side is independently controlled through the AVITI
Operating Software. The intuitive touchscreen interface is
positioned in the middle of the unit for convenient proximity to
all its functional bays. The instrument also features electronic
sensors for bar code identification of reagents for workflow
guidance and error avoidance. Door lock sensors provide safety
during operation.

Avidite Chemistry Is Key to the AVITI System

Avidity Sequencing reimagines the critical components of NGS and maximizes the combined impact on the accuracy and efficiency
of the cycled reaction. At its core, the AVITI System is built on the unique properties of its avidite chemistry, which has binding
efficiencies that yield high accuracy and reduce reagent consumption by more than log order. This innovation allows the system to
produce state-of-the-art sequencing quality at unmatched sequencing costs in a benchtop format.

A Wide Selection of Sequencing Library Inputs

The AVITI System surface chemistry is designed with a unique proprietary attachment chemistry and oligonucleotide sequences to
achieve optimum sequencing accuracy and cycling efficiency. To adapt to this surface chemistry, the AVITI System comes with both
standard and de novo NGS library prep options to fit seamlessly into nearly any genomics applications workflow.

Power Cord and Ethernet Cable Protective Earth and Fuses

In the US, the AVITI System ships with the power cord NEMA
5-20P to IEC 320-C19. Each instrument requires one delegate
outlet with single-phase 20 amp. Plug the power cord directly
into a standard wall outlet (NEMA 5-20R). Do not use an
extension cord. The instrument also ships with an Ethernet cable
that you can plug into any Ethernet port. The power cord and
Ethernet cable are each 3 m (10 ft) long.
An Element supplied grounded cable connects the instrument
to protective earth.
The instrument does not contain any user-replaceable fuses.
Any fuse that needs to be replaced will require an Element
specialist to install.

Preparing your Site for an AVITI System

Performing the Element AVITI System Workflow requires preparing lab space to accommodate the Element AVITI System. The AVITI
System is a benchtop instrument that integrates dedicated chemistry, hardware, and software to amplify and sequence DNA libraries.
Specific preparation will be necessary to prepare for its operation in the laboratory. The following additional items and physical
requirements are all listed in the Element AVITI System Site Prep Guide (MA-00007) at go.elembio.link/user-guides. These include,
without limitation, the following requirements:

• Stable benchtop or table with adequate spacing for ventilation and access
• Power requirements related to plug receptacle and circuit load
