In its continued efforts to innovate discovery-based research to comprehend the most detailed biological systems, Pacific Biosciences has launched the Sequel™ system, its next generation of long-read, automated genomic sequencers with Single-Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT*) sequencing technology. The Pac Bio Sequel II utilizing Minus K Negative Stiffness Vibration Isolation from Pacific Biosciences The sequel system is very multifaceted in operation. It encompasses robotics, chemical and biological processing and photonics. Kevin Lin, Mechanical Engineer, Pacific Biosciences As the system was designed for use in a range of R&D environments, significant ambient vibrations could affect the data. He continued, " We needed to implement a vibration isolation component that would not only isolate the sensitive components from vibrations, but also that would be sufficiently small, compact and integrative.”
