Sample preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS)
Revolutionize your application with the automation of next-generation sequencing (NGS)
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an advanced method for determining the nucleotide sequence of an entire genome or specific DNA segments. NGS has revolutionized genomics by allowing large amounts of genetic data to be generated quickly and cost-effectively. Unleash the full potential with our automated NGS solutions!
Why automate?
Cost reduction through
- Reduced labor costs: Less manual intervention means lower labor costs.
- Optimized resource consumption: Precise dosing and miniaturization of reagents reduce material costs.
Minimizing the risk of contamination by
- Closed systems: Automated platforms operate in closed systems, protecting samples from external influences.
- Less manual handling: No direct handling of samples by laboratory personnel minimizes the risk of human error and contamination.
Simplification of complexity through
- Standardized processes: Automated systems follow set protocols, leading to consistent and reproducible results.
- Increased flexibility: Automated workflows can be easily adapted to different sample types and research requirements, making it easier to perform complex biological experiments.
What we offer: From sample to result with centrifugal microfluidics
Centrifugal microfluidics is a technology in which liquids are moved and processed by centrifugal forces on a rotating cartridge. The rotary motion is used to transport, mix, separate and analyze liquids through microchannels and chambers.
- Idea generation and concept development: Analysis and development of innovative concepts for NGS workflows including subsequent application scenarios [1].
- Microfluidic cartridges: Design and development of disposable cartridges for complete sample preparation including library preparation for Targeted Sequencing [2] and Whole Genome Sequencing [3].
- Flexibility: Customizable for your system to meet specific research requirements - whether small or large studies, our automated solutions are ready for any challenge [4].
- Manufacturing in small and large series: Flexible production capacities for prototypes, small batches and mass production of microfluidic cartridges
Who is it for?
