Automated KAPA Library Preparation on the ACSIA Platform

Library preparation steps are long and repetitive. The automation of this preparation prevents any human error and improves the quality of the libraries thanks to greater repeatability and more accurate pipetting.

PrimaDiag developed their NGS system, based on the ACSIA platform, using the latest technologies, which allows the handling of magnetic beads, temperature control with 0.1°C of accuracy and shaking from 200 to 3000 rpm. This system fits with any kind of plate and deepwell available on the market (no skirted, semi skirted, skirted plates and so on). Moreover, all liquid handling parameters are carefully optimized for minimal reagent consumption and the protocols are optimized to minimize the number of tips used (3 tip boxes for preparing 48 libraries instead of 14).
