October 7, 2025 — MENLO PARK, Calif. — Leads & Copy — PacBio (Nasdaq: PACB) has expanded its partnership with seqWell, a global provider of genomic library and multiplexing workflow solutions. According to the agreement, PacBio will distribute seqWell’s LongPlex™ Multiplexing Kit, a sample preparation solution designed for use with PacBio HiFi sequencing.
The LongPlex kit removes sample prep bottlenecks, enabling researchers to produce high-quality libraries quickly. The collaboration expands the portfolio of workflow options available to PacBio customers, complementing PacBio’s long-read technology with an additional flexible, high-throughput sample prep solution.
The LongPlex™ Multiplexing Kit uses tagmentation to simultaneously fragment and index DNA for up to hundreds of samples in a single run, making it ideal for large-scale screening and targeted resequencing efforts. Veil Genomics is already demonstrating the value of LongPlex for population-scale efforts.
The LongPlex™ Multiplexing Kit is available today, with global availability in 2026, adding a scalable sample prep option to PacBio’s portfolio of sequencing solutions. For more information about the LongPlex™ Multiplexing Kit and compatible workflows, please visit www.pacb.com.
