Ultima Genomics›Ultima Genomics› offers Solaris Library Preparation

Ultima states that Solaris 2.0 improves GC coverage and genome-wide uniformity through updated amplification chemistry and flexible library preparation. Its page describes PCR-free and indexing-PCR paths and compatibility with leading third-party library kits.

The manufacturer reports a seven-hour amplification workflow with ten minutes of hands-on time. Those figures describe its stated workflow conditions and should be compared against a competing kit under matched sample and sequencing conditions.

Ultima’s UG 100 product comparison places the UG 100 with Solaris workflow in February 2025, establishing the earlier Solaris family before the 2.0 update. That date is distinct from the first UG 100 system in February 2024.

Ultima announced next-generation Solaris 2.0 workflows with the UG200 Series in February 2026. The current Solaris page presents that chemistry and its Free and Flex preparation paths as updates within the Solaris family.

The Solaris 2.0 Free path is PCR-free and accepts compatible third-party library kits, while the Flex path adapts partial or full-length libraries through indexing PCR. These are preparation variants within one product family.

Ultima connects the workflows to whole-genome, single-cell, methylation, and RNA applications. The page distinguishes library preparation from sequencing hardware, so Solaris should not be recorded as another sequencer model.

Solaris is Ultima Genomics’ library-preparation and amplification family for its sequencing systems. The current Solaris 2.0 page describes PCR-free and indexing-PCR options that accommodate different library inputs and sample types.

The Solaris Free and Flex workflows connect prepared libraries to Ultima sequencing. The 2.0 page reports changes in amplification chemistry, GC coverage, and workflow time, while the UG 100 page dates an earlier Solaris configuration to February 2025.
