AUTOMATED METHODS
For the Sciclone® and Zephyr® G3 Liquid Handlers
Automated NGS Applications
Large Breadth of NGS Applications Available
More than 120 standardized and tested automated methods are available for the most frequently used NGS library prep kits. This extensive library of standardized and tested automated methods offers flexibility in the choice of kits. Together, with our suite of automated liquid handling solutions optimized for NGS applications, our application library provides the ability to adapt to your needs.
Emerging Applications
Our team of application scientists is continuously releasing new automated methods to address emerging applications. By being responsive to latest trends in the NGS field, you can be assured we can meet your future automation needs.
Advanced Error Handling
We enable true walk-away push button protocols with integrated on-deck cameras through the PKeye™ mobile operations monitor. This system will notify you of any errors that occur through the PKeye™ cloud-based platform, allowing you to walk away from the workstation and focus your attention on intellectual contributions to the lab.
///// The tables below lists the kits and protocols that are currently automated on the Sciclone® and Zephyr® G3 liquid handlers.
