About
High-throughput NGS library preparation is at an inflection point. Most automated platforms have converged on 96-well formats, leaving labs that need to scale to 384-well workflows with few viable options. Until now.
This webinar introduces the Prime NGS Workstation: HighRes’ purpose-built, fully integrated solution for high-throughput 384-well library prep automation.
Attendees will hear from the HighRes team and instrument partners, Formulatrix and BlueCatBio, about how the Prime NGS Workstation was designed to eliminate the bottlenecks that hold back genomics operations at scale. From reaction miniaturization to continuous walk-away operation, this session will show what's now possible.
