Library preparation automation
Straightforward library prep automation allows users to generate premium quality data around the clock with minutes of hands-on time.
Automated prep for answers with impact
The range of devices available from Oxford Nanopore enable sequencing at every scale — from the single-use Flongle Flow Cell generating 1-2 Gbases of data, right through to the PromethION 48 with terabase-scale outputs. Automation of library preparation can help throughout this range. It improves the overall consistency of results, supporting robust and standardised workflows, which enables increased sample throughput for medium- and large-scale projects, such as large cohort studies. Our streamlined library preparation kits are easy to automate, and protocols are available for a range of liquid handlers.

Methods and their development
Oxford Nanopore Technologies has partnered with multiple automation vendors to support our users' needs. These partnerships enable support at every level of throughput, from standalone systems within research groups to high-throughput, integrated systems for population-scale sequencing projects. Alongside in-house method development, we work with vendors and users to design, develop, and validate methods tailored to your workflow. Through an open platform approach, we aim to support any user wishing to automate library preparation for nanopore sequencing, ensuring the delivery of real-time, information-rich data in a reliable and automated manner.
