FlowSEQ^®

Read-Based Calculator

Plan sequencing based on total reads needed per sample. Ideal for amplicon sequencing, metagenomics, or when genome size is unknown.

Calculation Mode

Coverage-Based Planning

Plan sequencing based on genome size and desired coverage depth. Ideal when you know the genome size and want specific coverage (e.g., 30x).

Example: Human genome (3.1 Gb) at 30x coverage

Read-Based Planning

Plan sequencing based on total reads needed per sample. Ideal for amplicon sequencing, metagenomics, or when genome size is unknown.

Example: 100,000 reads per sample for 16S rRNA sequencing

Tip: You can switch modes at any time. Your sequencer and flow cell selections will be preserved.

Sequencer Selection

No sequencers configured. Add sequencers in My Lab to start calculating.

Cost Profile

Overall Summary

Total Groups: 1

Total Samples: 96

Total Reads Required: 9.60M reads

Tip: Group samples with similar read requirements together. For example, you might have one group for controls (10K reads) and another for experimental samples (100K reads).
