The NGS STAR assay ready workstation is a comprehensive solution for next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications from whole genome to whole transcriptome sequencing and targeted sequencing applications. Fully automated library preparation can be optimized for use with assay chemistries from leading industry partners, with throughputs up to 96 sample libraries processed at once.

Fully Optimized NGS Solution

The NGS STAR is an affordable and versatile system that delivers substantial value to the customers. The NGS library prep workflows was developed with industry-leading partners, including BD Biosciences, Illumina, Integrated DNA Technologies - IDT, New England BioLabs, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Pacific Bioscience, QIAGEN, Roche KAPA, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Twist Biosciences.

Individualized Flexibility

The NGS STAR uses an open deck layout so that every system is fine-tuned to the lab’s specific NGS workflow, throughput, and assay needs. At the same time, the system is easily updated to keep pace with protocol updates, or as requirements evolve over time. Customers can also choose from a wide range of options to customize their system. The NGS STAR is available as an open or enclosed solution, with a variety of cooling and airflow configurations.

Precise, Repeatable Liquid Handling

Air displacement pipetting using Hamilton tips with CO-RE (Compressed O-Ring Expansion) technology provides superior measurement accuracy, precision, and reproducibility without tip distortion or aerosol generation during tip pick-up and ejection.

Hands-Free, Hassle-Free Operation

As a fully automated system, NGS STAR significantly reduces the number of cumbersome preparation steps required by current methods during runs of 1 to 96 samples. User-friendly software guides operators through the automated process, and automated barcode verification ensures proper placement of samples, reagents, plates, and tips. Each step in the aspirate and dispense process is continuously monitored for accuracy so that your lab can remain confident about getting consistent results throughout its operation.
