Automated NGS library preparation
Omnia efficiently automates library preparation for next-generation sequencing, contributing to the quick progress of precision medicine.
By reducing time and cost of DNA and RNA sequencing, NGS technologies are both radically changing genomics, transcriptomics and metagenomics and revolutionising identification and analysis of genes responsible for clinical and pathological conditions.
Omnia performs complete NGS library preparation based on the main existing methods and purification by magnetic beads, ensuring complete process traceability. To this end, it is equipped with temperature control units to run reactions at controlled temperatures, an integrated thermal cycler, a robotic arm for handling of plates and labware, and a barcode scanner.
Non-invasive prenatal testing for trisomies, neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis, genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancers are just some of the protocols that our platform already automates.
