Genomics - NGS Assays

New sequencers and NGS kits allow for both higher throughput of small panels and whole exome/genome samples. All NGS workflows require a number of bead wash steps. Centrifugal Bead Separation (CBS) dramatically reduces tip cost, plastic waste and speeds up workflows such as AMPure® magnetic bead clean-up for NGS library construction.

Application Notes

13. September 2022

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.
