Automation of NGS Sample Size Selection Using SPRIselect on the Biomek 4000 Laboratory Automation Workstation
26 Feb 2015To streamline the NGS sample preparation process, Beckman Coulter launched the SPRIselect Reagent Kit to allow NGS sample size selection to be automated on Biomek liquid handling platforms for high throughput and high efficiency sample preparations. The data presented here demonstrates the automation of the SPRIselect Kit on the Biomek 4000 Workstation. The demonstrated method will prepare 96 samples in 96-well plate format for small to medium throughput laboratories.

Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
