DNA library preparation laboratory workstation

automatedNGSbenchtop

Performs nearly end-to-end next generation sequencing (NGS) for a range of genomic and drug discovery applications Overview The Opentrons NGS Workstation is an open-source liquid handling system that automates sample and library prep, reagent distribution, bead processing, and general biochemical and genomic transfers in your NGS and PCR applications. This workstation automates protocols and workflows using any leading reagent or magnetic bead-based system in the market with accuracy and precision at the fraction of the cost. This workstation can be used for the following applications: Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Sample & Library Preparation Bead based processing General liquid handling and reagent distribution Workstation Components Each Opentrons NGS Workstation is custom configured with the hardware, consumables, and protocols unique to your NGS assay. You’ll also enjoy free access to the Opentrons Protocol Designer, Python API, and Protocol Library. Demonstrated Method This application has been fully tested and scientifically verified by Opentrons. Application Data Next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow includes preparing DNA libraries using commercially available and cost-effective DNA preparation kits as well as normalization and pooling data on the OT-2. We present data optimizing this workflow by using the OT-2 NGS workstation and an automated OT-2 protocol helps to improve the efficiency for DNA library preparation, normalization and pooling.
