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.
