The JANUS® G3 NGS Express™ workstation is a benchtop liquid handler designed to simplify and reduce errors in low-to-moderate throughput next generation sequencing library construction. It uses an intuitive interface to guide users through protocol selection and deck setup, as well as, displays in-run status and details. An optional enclosure not only helps to minimize sample contamination, but the easy to read status lights provide visual feedback for true walkaway sample preparation. Another advanced option is the PKeye™ mobile operations monitor, which empowers full walk-away automation through the use of integrated deck cameras.
NGS applications automated on the JANUS G3 NGS Express workstation include:
Library preparation
Amplicon preparation
Target capture preparation
Sample normalization
