Hanzandi Launches NLP-96 High-Throughput NGS Library Preparation Workstation, Pioneering Automation in Genomic Sample Processing

Dec 11, 2023 08:00 CST Updated 08:00

In recent years, high-throughput sequencing technology (NGS) are considered top-tier, asNGSFrom the gradual maturation of the technology, to gaining the attention of clinical experts, and ultimately to its clinical application,The substantial increase in sequencing throughput demands that upstream sample processing be as simple and rapid as possible to improveNGSThe work efficiency of the entire process.

 

Library preparation is an indispensable step in the NGS high-throughput sequencing workflow and one of the key determinants of NGS success. Although high-throughput sequencers have gradually become more automated and user-friendly, upstream sample preparation—particularly library construction—still requires precise and complex molecular biology procedures, characterized by being time-consuming, labor-intensive, and having low reproducibility. Automation is therefore key to optimizing throughput and cost-effectiveness.

 

HanZanDi Launches New ProductsNGS High-Throughput Library Preparation Workstation NLP-96, this isA high-throughput automated liquid handling workstation specifically developed for the automated NGS library preparation of up to 96 samples, suitable for the automation upgrade of most NGS library construction workflows on the market.

The NLP-96 enables flexible configuration of modules such as PCR instruments, temperature control units, magnetic racks, grippers, and shakers. With a single click to initiate the built-in protocol, it can process the entire NGS library preparation workflow for up to 96 samples or the purification workflow for up to 192 samples, easily achieving a “sample-in, result-out” workflow and reducing manual operation time by up to 90%. Meanwhile, stable and standardized automated operations significantly minimize errors introduced by manual handling, thereby enhancing experimental reliability and consistency.
