About this webinar

In this session, Sara Talbot, Senior Research Scientist at AstraZeneca, shares her experience using the NEBNext UltraExpress RNA Library Prep Kit in combination with our firefly platform to prepare 96 RNA-seq libraries in a single day. This powerful integration of reagents and automation not only streamlined the library preparation process but also significantly reduced time at the bench and improved reproducibility across samples.

See how AstraZeneca is leveraging lab automation to transform RNA-seq prep from a time-consuming bottleneck into a scalable and reliable process. This is an excellent opportunity for genomics researchers, lab managers and anyone involved in NGS to explore the benefits of automated library preparation and how it can elevate your RNA-seq capabilities.

Key learning objectives:

  • Understand how automated RNA-seq library preparation can improve throughput, consistency and reduce hands-on time in NGS workflows
  • Explore practical strategies for implementing lab automation in genomics research to streamline RNA-seq workflows and overcome common bottlenecks
  • Discover the workflow reduced hands-on time by over 50% and decreased plastic use by 40% per library prep.
  • Explore the technical capabilities of the firefly platform, including its ability to streamline and standardize NGS library prep workflows
