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?

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
