Aurora Biomed is a worldwide leader in the design and development of lab automation solutions for life science research, and is now manufacturing platforms configured for the automation of library preparation protocols. Aurora’s VERSA NGLP platforms are designed to accommodate both low and high throughput enzymatic modifications and magnetic bead based cleanups/size selections. The VERSA Mini NGLP is currently being validated; however Aurora Biomed is actively seeking a collaborator to validate the larger, VERSA 1100 platform. If your group is interested in working with us, please PM me or email [email protected]

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
