Automating NGS workflows: A comparison between a traditional liquid handler and Biomek NGeniuS Next Generation Library Prep System

However, not all liquid handlers are equipped with similar hardware and software features to provide all the benefits of automation. In this application note, a traditional liquid handler was compared with the Beckman Coulter Biomek NGeniuS Next Generation Library Prep System.
