NGS library preparation is complicated and has many steps, making automation a daunting prospect. With Opentrons robots and verified protocols, library preparation might become the easiest part of your day.
You don’t even need to program your robot to do your library preparation – that’s probably been done already. Simply visit the Opentrons Protocol Library and download protocols for kits from common NGS companies including Illumina, IDT, Qiagen and many more. Choose from Opentrons Verified or Manufacturer Verified protocols for immediate confidence, or Community Verified protocols to precisely replicate other scientists’ methods.
Save time by selecting the Flex NGS Workstation– everything you need to automate your workflow, so you can get to your science faster. With the Flex NGS Workstation, you can automate your workflow at the scale you need to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and save hands-on time.
Automating NGS library prep is an important part of scaling genomics workflows, and offers several advantages, such as reduced hands-on time, increased consistency between samples and fewer errors. Join us for this webinar where we’ll outline some important considerations for automating NGS library prep, and then demo an NGS workflow on the Opentrons Flex NGS Workstation, a benchtop liquid handler with 96-sample throughput.

The Flex very materially helps us do library prep and saves time and mental energy. More importantly it changes how we think about things. How can we systematize this so it can be done more efficiently overall? I like that culture overall. It’s a much more high-performing way to do things.
