In this session, we would like to learn more about how high-throughput users adapt our sequencing kit formats to their needs – from how many kits you decide to order, to unboxing, to large-scale sample preparation. Focusing mainly on PromethION and GridION users, this session will discuss pain points in scaling up library preparation and suggestions for how to optimize our kits for high-throughput applications. We would also love to learn more about the kit format needs for high-throughput automation users.
