NGS is a powerful tool, but many parts of the NGS workflow are complex, require a lot of repetitive pipetting and are prone to errors. Labs are increasingly turning to automation to help with their NGS workflows.
Every lab has its own resources and goals. When evaluating automation, you need to think through the transition in the context of your lab and your samples. This guide will help you decide if automating NGS is the right decision for you.
Automate your NGS workflow on the OT-2
The OT-2 can automate your library prep and pre-sequencing workflows using any leading reagent or magnetic bead-based system on the market. Explore our popular NGS workstation, which includes all the hardware modules and consumables you need to start automating NGS immediately.
Fully Automated NGS Library Preparation with the OT-2
Fully Automated NGS
We automated much of the [OCTOPUS plasmid sequencing] protocol using the open-source Opentrons OT-2 liquid handling system and reduced the necessary hands-on time by more than 70%.
