The Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation is a benchtop liquid handler designed to automate the construction of 48 to 96 next generation sequencing (NGS) libraries per day. The simplified user-interface and integrated hardware maximize laboratory productivity while reducing variability resulting from manual pipetting.

Over 40 automated methods for the Zephyr® G3 NGS liquid handler are available automating:

• Post-PCR SPRI purification

• qPCR setup (in 96-well or 384-well plates)

• Plate transfer to the LabChip® GX Touch™ nucleic acid analyzer

• Volume and/or concentration normalization

• Indexed library pooling

• NGS library construction

The Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation produces sequence-ready libraries with improved reproducibility and consistency while minimizing the labor-intensive steps associated with manual NGS sample preparation. With a walk-away solution and flexible sample processing (8 to 96 samples), the Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation is an ideal solution for medium throughput labs enabling the parallel processing of 96 samples in less than eight hours.

The Zephyr® G3 NGS workstation comes pre-configured with:

• 12 position deck

• Simultaneous pipetting and gripper movement for improved efficiency

• 4-110°C thermal heater

• Combined 4-70°C thermal heater and shaker

• Disposable tip waste chute

• Fully enclosure workstation

• Guided application user interface

• Verified, pre-developed application templates

• Optional UV light
