Library preparation automation

Subscribe

Straightforward library prep automation allows users to generate premium quality data around the clock with minutes of hands-on time.

Automated preparation for streamlined answers

The range of devices available from Oxford Nanopore enables sequencing at every scale — from a powerful, palm-sized MinION Mk1D device, right through to high-output, production-scale PromethION 24 with onboard analysis. 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.
