In the recent years, there has been increasing demand to provide fast, cost-effective, and accurate
genome information, this led to the development of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Large
volumes of sequence data are inexpensively generated by the commercially available NGS instruments. The
advances in data generation capacity has resulted in sample preparation bottlenecks previously observed in
other market applications, such as small molecule drug efficacy screening. To address this problem, Caliper
has developed a suite of innovative technologies to meet the need for a higher throughput in librarypreparation.
The Zephyr Genomics Workstation performs nucleic acid extraction using pre-validated automation of kits, and
the Sciclone NGS Workstation is a robust and flexible platform for automated library preparation that supports
multiple sequencing instruments and diverse sample preparation chemistries. Paired with the LabChip XT for
automated DNA size fractionation, LabChip GX for high- throughput library QC, and the LabChip DS for
96-channel UV/Vis quantitation, Caliper is among the leaders in providing a complete solution for sample
preparation to eliminate the bottleneck in next generation sequencing workflow.
