ACSIA NGSLibPrep Edition

PrimaDiag

ACSIA NGSLibPrep Edition, the solution to automate the libraries preparation for next-generation sequencing. In view of increasing your productivity, avoiding contamination and improving your work efficiency, PrimaDiag created ACSIA NGSLibPrep Edition. It uses our software PrimaControlleur®II and has been designed to allow you to effectively perform your libraries preparation.ACSIA NGSLibPrep Edition allows you to perform 96 samples without human intervention libraries. To do so, it operates from just after the fragmentation up through the final PCR amplification. It is in this last step at the end of the process that a sufficient quantity of interesting fragments is obtained. Moreover, with our software and its innovative SMT technology, it ensures lower process costs by reducing the quantity of tips used during your manipulations. ACSIA NGSLibPrep Edition minimizes the use of your reagents and consumables during your processes and prevents waste. It also ensures minimal sample loss during treatment. At the end of your processes the yield with ACSIA NGSLibPrep Edition is increased by 20% over manual treatment and process costs are and highly reduced.To perform the libraries preparation, ACSIA NGSLibPrep Edition is available with 16 SBS positions integrating our patented Magnetic Work Unit and our heatingShaker 3000. This configuration is provided with a 250µL 1-channel pipetting head and a 250µL 8-channel pipetting head. Its’ PrimaController®II software offers both a realistic and interactive view as well as real-time assistance to increase your efficiency by letting you focus on your own tasks.Features: Magnetic Work Unit based on our patented APIM technology (Attraction Point by Induced Magnetization) Pipetting heads are interchangeable within seconds High efficiency automated platform managed by innovative, smart software Easy and User-Friendly programming Pre-programmed protocols for exome capture Add-in our protective enclosure for better safety during your processes One of the market's best quality/price values

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
