NGS OnePrep™ Solution
Integrated and Automated DNA Extraction and Library Preparation with the Encompass Optimum™ Workstation
For Research Use Only, Not for In Vitro Diagnostics Use
The NGS OnePrep solution aims to streamline the separate and distinct processes of nucleic acid extraction and NGS library preparation. Existing methods are typically highly manual or require multiple instruments to automate DNA extraction and library preparation. Even “automated” methods for library preparation have disjointed, manual steps. Utilizing the Encompass Optimum workstation, sequence-ready libraries can be produced directly from the sample in just five hours and yield NGS sequence data and quality metrics indistinguishable from the more labor-intensive methods often employed by laboratory facilities.
Key Benefits
- Significantly reduced hands-on time and total time-to-results
- Can process up to 24 samples in less than 5 hours
- Reduced intra- and inter-batch variability of NGS libraries
- Reduced lab footprint and capital equipment cost
