What does it mean that IQVIA Laboratories is a Certified Service Provider for Ultima?

Being a Certified Service Provider for Ultima means IQVIA Laboratories has invested in the Ultima UG 100® sequencing platform and operates it using validated workflows and trained laboratory teams that meet Ultima’s service standards. This allows customers to access Ultima sequencing technology through an experienced collaborator with established quality controls and reliable execution.
What’s the difference between Ultima UG 100® and legacy sequencing platforms?

The Ultima UG 100® sequencing platform was designed to economically support ultra deep sequencing, population scale studies, and re sequencing of existing libraries, whereas legacy sequencing platforms often become cost  and data inefficient at high depth and scale.
What are the key differences that matter for genomics programs?

Designed to support genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and multi-omics programs at scale, the Ultima UG 100® delivers 10–12 billion reads per wafer, enabling large scale, ultra deep sequencing in fewer runs. This higher throughput supports efficient re sequencing of existing libraries while reducing cost per study compared to legacy platforms.
How consistent is Ultima across applications?

The Ultima UG 100® shows consistent gene level measurement across platforms, including spatial transcriptomics, enabling reliable cross study and cross platform comparisons in high coverage sequencing workflows.
Does Ultima provide the variant detection sensitivity needed for somatic analysis?

Yes. The Ultima UG 100® demonstrates comparable positive predictive value (PPV) and enhanced sensitivity for SNVs and indels at 10–20% variant allele frequency, supporting robust somatic mutation detection in ultra deep sequencing applications.
