Roche and Hamilton Robotics automated DNA sample enrichment platform for 454 GS Junior sequencer

Monday, 04 March, 2013 | Supplied by: Roche Diagnostic Systems


Roche and Hamilton Robotics have introduced an integrated platform enabling automated DNA sample enrichment for Roche’s 454 GS Junior sequencer. The platform builds on the integration of Roche’s REM e System with Hamilton’s Microlab Nimbus NGS workstation, resulting in reduced hands-on time, minimised operational variability and consistent results.

The integrated platform is said to replace about 4 h of manual work, speeding up the liquid handling process by using robotic pipetting technologies. It is easy to use and smaller than conventional systems, offering a convenient, compact enrichment procedure for GS Junior users.

The platform has been fully tested and validated to automate the emPCR breaking, bead enrichment and sequence primer annealing steps in the GS Junior sample preparation workflow. Dedicated software with a graphical user interface (GUI) provides easy automation set-up and simple user control.
