Evercode MAX shipped on October 20 and promises up to 2.5x more cells or roughly half the cost, and the new Product Manager is hired to run launches and positioning. But the site still sells the old lineup in most places: the /products/ overview shows only WT Mini, WT, Mega and Penta; the footer on every page lists the same kits; and the four v4 WT pages, which carry years of search rankings, mention MAX only in the news ticker. A researcher who searches "Evercode WT Mega" today gets the old kit with no hint that a cheaper, more flexible option exists.

Why it works
Add a MAX panel to the top of each v4 WT, TCR and BCR page: "Now shipping: Evercode MAX" with a table mapping each v4 kit size to its MAX configuration (samples, cells, cost per sample) and the sizing tool. Rebuild /products/ around MAX, update the footer menu, and decide per page whether to keep it for reorders or redirect it to the matching MAX page. Re-check internal links from the 78 datasets and comparisons.
Launch interest arrives through old URLs; meeting it there turns existing rankings and reorder visits into MAX quotes instead of v4 orders at a higher cost per sample.

Risks and how to handle them
Existing customers reorder v4 kits
Keep a clear reorder link on each page while v4 is sold.
Search rankings drop after redirects
Redirect only after MAX pages carry the same content and data.
Evidence
- NewsEvercode MAX press release (October 20, 2026): now shipping; "up to 2.5 times as many cells across up to twice as many samples within their existing budget, or run the same experiment at roughly half the overall cost"; sample barcoding and library prep sold as independent kits; available for Whole Transcriptome, WT FFPE, TCR, BCR and CRISPR Detect; up to 384 samples and 2 million cells; "cost per sample drops by up to 58%"; unused library prep reactions can be saved; same v4 chemistry. Customer quote: "we could essentially do two experiments for the price of one."Source
- Your websiteProduct pages after the MAX launch (checked October 23, 2026): the top menu lists Evercode MAX WT, TCR + WT, BCR + WT and WT FFPE, but the /products/ overview still presents only WT Mini, WT, WT Mega and WT Penta, TCR and BCR; the footer on every page lists Evercode WT Mini, WT, WT Mega, WT Penta, BCR and TCR; and the four v4 WT pages (for example "Evercode WT Penta - 5 Million Single Cell RNA-Seq Kit") are live and in the sitemap, mentioning MAX only in the news ticker.Source
- HiringProduct Manager (Single Cell Sequencing Tech), Seattle or remote US, posted October 15, 2026: will "own current and future products within the Evercode product lines" and their "commercial success", "Coordinate preparation and launch for new product introductions", "Define and refine market positioning for current products", "Develop technical collateral and presentation decks to support sales efforts", and be "the central advocate for the customer internally while proactively building a community externally".Source
- Your websiteEvercode MAX WT page: "build a kit around the number of samples and cells per sample you plan to analyze"; a sizing tool (Number of samples x Cells per sample = Total target cells) that asks for a work email and website to "Get instant pricing", with "Not sure of your numbers? Ask us to help size it."; "In human PBMCs at 40,000 reads per cell, Evercode detected an average of 27.5% more transcripts than Chromium GEM-X Single Cell 3' Kit v4." The same sizing tool sits on the Experiment Planner page. A form pop-up template on these pages still carries placeholder copy ("Test Headline", "Some text goes here").Source
