What steps in genomics sample preparation can I automate?

Multiple steps across PCR and NGS workflows can benefit from benchtop automation, including:

• PCR reaction setup and clean-up
• NGS library preparation, including size selection and normalization
• Nucleic acid extraction and purification
• Sample aliquoting and pooling
• Sample tube decapping/capping and barcode-based sample identification

Automating these steps reduces hands-on time, minimizes errors, and helps maintain sample integrity throughout the workflow.
