Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the medical and biological sciences, offering enhanced throughput and cost-effectiveness.
The cost of whole-genome sequencing has significantly decreased, dropping from $100 million in 2001 to just $200 in 2023, with the process now achievable in less than half a day. However, the core principles of NGS library preparation have remained largely consistent.
NGS workflows demand precise liquid handling to maintain sample integrity and meet high throughput requirements.
This eBook examines methods for automating and miniaturizing NGS workflows through low-volume, adaptable liquid handling solutions, supporting optimal coverage and sequencing depth across various applications.
