Automation of the QIAseq FX DNA Library on the NGS STAR V

Application note 2501 04 NGS STAR V Qia Seq FX DNA TIMG

Library preparation is a key requirement for Next-Generation Sequencing applications and is among the most expensive and time-consuming steps in the sequencing workflow. It can also lead to sample loss or reduced library quality due to manual handling errors.

The QIAGEN QIAseq FX DNA Library Kit, when automated on the Hamilton NGS STAR V, addresses these challenges with a streamlined protocol that performs adapter ligation directly after enzymatic fragmentation, eliminating the need for an intermediate clean-up step. The simplified three-step workflow enables efficient, high-throughput library preparation.

  • Increased throughput – process up to 96 samples in parallel
  • Enhanced reproducibility – minimized manual variability and human error
  • Time efficiency – reduced hands-on time and more walk-away time
  • Scalability – meet growing sequencing demands without additional labor
  • Automated barcode verification ensures error-free setup and traceability
