Three-day turnaround time for routine oncology testing using the MagnisDx NGS Prep System

21 Jan 2021

In this application note, Agilent demonstrates how the MagnisDx NGS Prep system was able to improve the turnaround time of oncology testing by reducing library prep and enrichment processes from two days to nine hours, as well as reducing hands-on time from 2.5 hours to <15 minutes.

Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. 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.
