Revolutionizing 384-Well Library Prep
June 2026 Webinar
A HighRes – Formulatrix – BlueCatBio Collaboration
High-throughput NGS library preparation is at an inflection point. Most automated platforms have converged on 96-well formats, leaving labs that need to scale to 384-well workflows with few viable options. Until now. This webinar introduces the Prime NGS Workstation: HighRes’ purpose-built, fully integrated solution for high-throughput 384-well library prep automation.

DNA Purification
2021 FORMULATRIX Application Note
Fully Automated, Non-contact, and Tip-Free Magnetic Bead-based DNA Purification
A combination of the MANTIS and BlueWasher in the NGS workflow will reduce the hands-on time for the adaptor and post- amplification magnetic bead-based cleanup steps by 30%, decrease consumables cost by 50% (approximately $118/plate), and minimize the plastic waste by preventing the disposing of ~1,000 tips.
