Reducing time to science: How accessible, touchscreen-enabled automation makes NGS library preparation plug and play
On-demand Webinar
Automating NGS library prep is a critical part of optimizing workflows in genomics labs. As the cost and efficiency of sequencing has improved, the process of library preparation has largely failed to improve in parallel, largely due to the significant hands-on time and complexity involved in the process. Automation offers a compelling solution to this challenge, but there are still barriers with creating and verifying automated protocols, and making the day-to-day running of protocols accessible to all lab personnel.
Access this webinar to learn:
- How to fully automate NGS library prep
- How the new features of the Opentrons Flex transform this workflow
- How to eliminate scientist-to-scientist variations in library prep with automation
Who should watch:
- Anyone who missed our talk at SLAS EU
- Anyone looking to improve their NGS library prep workflows with automation
- OT-2 users looking to upgrade to the Opentrons Flex
