Ultima Genomics unveiled the UG200 sequencing family and Solaris 2.0 workflows, positioning the company for high‑throughput, lower‑cost human genome production. The UG200 line offers flexible wafer configurations and a one‑day library‑to‑data turnaround, with the Ultra model targeting extreme throughput and a priced instrumentation tier for data‑hungry applications. Simultaneously, Ultima struck a workflow automation agreement with Hamilton to automate sample preparation and amplification on Microlab Star platforms, aiming to scale throughput and lab operations for customers adopting UG200 systems. Company press releases and AGBT presentations provided performance and pricing context. Ultima said the combined instrument and automation partnerships are intended to accelerate adoption for population‑scale genomics, clinical monitoring and AI‑driven discovery workflows.
