High-quality library preparation: the foundation for your discoveries
Native: PCR-free for direct DNA or RNA sequencing eliminating GC bias, retaining all the biological information including base modifications without extra library prep or sample manipulation, reducing costs and preparation time.
Comprehensive: Any DNA and RNA fragment length (from 20 bp to 4 Mb+) to access whole genomes, targeted genomes, methylomes, structural variants, full-length transcripts, and more.
Scalable: Easily scalable (automatable on various liquid handlers) to meet diverse needs, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.
Versatile: Compatible with a wide range of sample types (DNA, RNA, and cDNA) for a variety of applications.
Streamlined: Quick, simple and robust workflows, typically with 5 to 20 minutes of hands-on time.
High quality: Designed for high output and minimal bias, ensuring reliable and accurate results.
Automation options for increased throughput
Automation of library preparation improves the overall consistency of results, supporting robust and standardised workflows, which enables increased sample throughput for medium- and large-scale projects, such as large cohort studies. Our streamlined library preparation kits are easy to automate, and protocols are available for a range of liquid handlers.
