Is NGS Prep Ready Opentrons-2 any good?

07-29-2020, 03:59 PM

I saw Opentrons releases theis NGS library prep workstation. Have anyone use it before? I only need low throughput library prep (~20 bacteria genome per week), so this would be a cheap option. However, I saw in previous threads that people are not so happy with it. I am familiar with Python so I can deal with the user interface, but I am wondering how reliable the system is. I have also used Hamilton MicroSTAR, Beckman NxP and Bravo before, though not for NGS prep. I am guessing it is not going to be as good as those given the price, but may be sufficient for what I need?

Is there other options out there?

well, considering the price it is something not easy to avoid.

however the point that is handles 8 samples per run is a bit annoying.

Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics

by seqadmin

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...
