Profile

Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc.PACBHealth Care

Sells long-read sequencing instruments, consumables, software, and services for genomic analysis. Consumables are the largest revenue category, and the business is refocused on HiFi long-read adoption after selling selected short-read assets.

Sells Revio and Vega sequencing systems, SMRT Cells, chemistry, sample-prep kits, software, and services built around SMRT and HiFi long-read sequencing. Customers include research institutions, service labs, public health groups, pharmaceutical companies, and agriculture users.

Revenue is reported as a single genetic-analysis platform segment across instruments, consumables, and service or other offerings. Sales span the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific, with the United States forming most of the Americas line.

Execution depends on expanding the installed base, repeat consumables use, and clinical-research adoption of HiFi sequencing. Products are generally research-use-only unless regulatory status changes, and many customers buy through purchase orders rather than long-term volume commitments.
