Miniaturize to maximize: High-resolution genomic and NGS libraries at a fraction of the cost
Due to the rapid decrease in the cost of sequencing, sample preparation is often the bottleneck in next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows. Volume miniaturization with automated liquid handlers has the potential to solve throughput and cost challenges, enabling researchers to process more samples while generating more data.

About this webinar
In this webinar, Richard Eccles from the Centre for Genomic Research at the University of Liverpool alongside SPT Labtech, and New England Biolabs, Inc. demonstrate how the mosquito® genomics enables the automation and miniaturization of the NEBNext® Ultra™ II FS DNA library prep kit, producing high-quality data, increased throughput, and a significant reduction in the cost per sample.
Watch this webinar to see:
- How to automate library prep at 1/10th of original volumes, while maintaining sequence coverage and quality comparable with full-volume reactions
- The possibility of miniaturization and automation of solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) bead purification
- An overview of mosquito® genomics, dragonfly® discovery instruments and related accessories from SPT Labtech
- How to generate high-quality sequencing data from a wide range of input amounts and sample types
This webinar is perfect for:
- Researchers involved in NGS library preparation
- Lab managers and sequencing cores looking to maximize their NGS pipeline efficiency
- Those interested in cost-effective, plate-based single-cell analysis
- Anyone wanting to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in genomics lab automation
