A library prep workflow using QIAseq FX DNA Library Kit and QIAseq Normalizer Kit on the Opentrons Flex

4 Oct 2024

As the ambition of sequencing projects and capacities of sequencing platforms grows, labs are increasingly looking for ways to streamline laborious and time-consuming preparation of libraries. One way of achieving this is through automating the library prep workflow. Additionally, library prep workflows are becoming more efficient as a result of advancements in library prep chemistry, with features that support automation, shorter workflows and/or fewer pipetting steps. Explore the automation of QIAGEN’s QIAseq FX and Normalizer chemistries on the Opentrons Flex™ for efficient preparation of E. coli, human genomic and mixed microbial DNA libraries.
