It is important to understand the GX500 is no longer supported by Illumina and thier mircroarray scanner portfolio of instruments has moved on from this work hourse of the early days of Microarrrays produced by Illumina, however Illumina arrays are still being produced that are compatible with this instrument and high quality data can and is still being regularly produced on this range of instruments world wide.

11. Focus topic - the underlying technology and trends in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS/Next-Gen) (As a pdf internal access only). This newsletter was written in 2011/12 and whilst still true the NGS protfolio of instruments has further improved in their capabilities. The dominance in the market by Illumina has further meant the demise of The SoLid and 454 systems for purchase and the rise of Ion Torrent/Ion Proton should be noted.
