Scaling sample throughput in your NGS workflow
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the way genomes are analyzed. As technologies trend towards higher throughput, lower cost, and improved data quality, standardization and quality control remain key topics in the NGS workflow.
In this SelectScience NGS webinar series, produced in partnership with Agilent Technologies, we explore the importance of input sample quality control (QC). The webinar demonstrates how sample QC relates to the quality of downstream sequencing results and examines key QC aspects to consider when scaling NGS throughput and automation. This series features presentations from expert speakers with a variety of scientific backgrounds and consists of two webinars, starting on Friday, 6 May 2022.
Webinar 2: Scaling sample throughput in your NGS workflow
This webinar will review the major points that need to be considered when scaling up the sample throughput of the entire next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow. The presentation will explore how increased numbers of samples can affect every part of the workflow, including sample preparation, sample quality control (QC), library prep, target enrichment, and post-sequencing analysis. Attendees will understand how to scale up with automation while maintaining data quality and increasing the consistency of results.
