Read moreIn 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.
Read moreThe Illumina DNA Prep kit is an optimized, user-friendly workflow for preparing normalized and ready-to-sequence libraries in under four hours, from a wide range of DNA inputs. Illumina DNA Prep delivers reliable results - consistent insert sizes, uniform coverage, and optimized performance for a range of sample types and DNA input amounts1,2. Illumina DNA Prep relies on bead-based tagmentation technology where magnetic bead-based transposome complexes fragment DNA and ligate adapter sequences in a single 15-minute reaction. PCR is then used to add indexes to the DNA fragments and generates libraries compatible with all Illumina sequencing platforms. The amplified libraries are purified using Illumina Purification Beads. The overall process eliminates the need for library quantitation before library pooling and sequencing, minimizing bias and error, and resulting in highly reproducible sequencing data1,2. Here we show how the Illumina DNA Prep workflow, based on Illumina DNA Prep Reference Guide (1000000025416 v11), was automated on firefly®, in a two-part protocol with a single off-deck thermocycler step. Details of the firefly® workflow are described, and data is
Read moreAs sequencing costs continue to decrease, sample and library preparation have emerged as the critical bottleneck in modern genomics workflows. Core facilities face mounting pressure to process thousands of samples with accuracy and precision while maintaining competitive pricing and rapid turnaround times. In this session, you'll hear from Taylor Fennelly, a researcher at the Biopolymers Facility (BPF) at Harvard Medical School, who will share their success story implementing SPT Labtech’s firefly for high-throughput, high-quality library generation. Our very own firefly product manager, Denise Grovewood will demonstrate how this compact, all-in-one automated liquid handling solution is specifically designed to overcome the bottlenecks faced by sequencing cores.
