Description
The Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation is a benchtop liquid handler designed to automate the construction of 48 to 96 next generation sequencing (NGS) libraries per day. The simplified user-interface and integrated hardware maximize laboratory productivity while reducing variability resulting from manual pipetting.
Over 40 automated methods for the Zephyr® G3 NGS liquid handler are available automating:
- Post-PCR SPRI purification
- qPCR setup (in 96-well or 384-well plates)
- Plate transfer to the LabChip® GX Touch™ nucleic acid analyzer
- Volume and/or concentration normalization
- Indexed library pooling
- NGS library construction
The Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation produces sequence-ready libraries with improved reproducibility and consistency while minimizing the labor-intensive steps associated with manual NGS sample preparation. With a walk-away solution and flexible sample processing (8 to 96 samples), the Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation is an ideal solution for medium throughput labs enabling the parallel processing of 96 samples in less than eight hours.
The Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation comes pre-configured with:
- 12 position deck
- Simultaneous pipetting and gripper movement for improved efficiency
- 4-110°C thermal heater
- Combined 4-70°C thermal heater and shaker
- Disposable tip waste chute
- Fully enclosure workstation
- Guided application user interface
- Verified, pre-developed application templates
- Optional UV light
