Rapid library preparation with ExpressPlex 2.0 and apricot S3

Discover the combination of ExpressPlex™ 2.0 and apricot S3, a rapid library preparation workflow for next-generation sequencing (NGS) with Sabina Gude, the Director of Customer Experience and Product Management at seqWell. The ExpressPlex 2.0 kit uses next-generation transposases and normalizes DNA input, and when paired with SPT Labtech’s apricot S3 automated liquid handler, a workflow of under two hours with minimal hands-on time can be achieved. Hear how this unique combination enables rapid, consistent runs, whilst supporting up to 6,144 samples per flow cell, and promoting sustainability by minimizing tip waste.

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. Find the best next-generation sequencing products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.
