DNA Preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow is one of the most important but tedious & expensive parts of this assay. In this webinar, we’ll show you how to reduce the cost and optimize the efficiency of this assay step with the OT-2 and the Illumina® DNA preparation kit. We’ll share a fully automated, high-performance process to perform tagmentation workflows to generate uniform DNA prep libraries for genome sequencing on the OT-2 at the fraction of the cost of other liquid handlers.  

We’ll also give you a preview of our new product - the OT-2 NGS workstation, which performs a fully automated NGS workflow.

This 40-minute webinar provides useful tips to:

• Automate DNA preparation and NGS workflows
• Reduce the cost of DNA preparation and NGS workflows
• Increase the sequencing accuracy and precision via automated DNA preparation
