Hi, We are currently moving our amplicon sequencing library prep over to an automatic platform. Before outlaying for machinery and programming, can anyone advise of positive or negative experiences with the different platforms available. We currently have in house Epimotion 5075 and Hamilton Microlab StarLet. We would like to automate magnetic bead clean up for each of the PCR's and pooling/quantification. Currently, our first attempts to get the Hamilton up and running have been quite disappointing so I would like to know if it is worth persevering?

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
