Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the medical and biological sciences, providing improved throughput and affordability.
The cost of whole-genome sequencing has reduced considerably, from $100 million in 2001 to $200 in 2023, and the process can now be completed in under half a day. Yet the underlying principles of NGS library preparation remain largely unchanged.
NGS workflows necessitate exact liquid handling to ensure sample preservation and great throughput requirements.
This article explores approaches to automating and miniaturizing NGS workflows using low-volume, dynamic liquid handling solutions to help ensure optimal coverage and sequencing depth in any application.
