Beckman Coulter Life Sciences launches
SPRIworks HT*, a high-throughput solution for fragment library preparation on
Illumina next-generation sequencers, at SLAS 2012, The system allows researchers to
process libraries with greater speed and sample reproducibility and decreases
processing costs. SPRIworks HT utilizes built-in SPRI (Solid Phase Reversible
Immobilization)-based per-well size selection.
User
interaction is seamless and requires as little as 15 minutes of hands-on time.
Up to 96 samples can be prepared in as little as three hours without size
selection, or six hours with size selection. The simplicity of SPRIworks
HT enables users to seamlessly perform automated sample preparation protocols
upon their first interaction with the system.
SPRIworks HT offers a reagent kit for library preparation that includes sizing
solution and PCR reagents. Protocols are automated via a suite of methods built
on the Beckman Coulter Biomek** FX
P Liquid Handling Workstation.
Per-well size selection provides users with the flexibility to process samples
for multiple applications in a single run. For added efficiency, methods are
also included for downstream processes such as PCR setup, PCR cleanup, qPCR
setup, quantitation, normalization and sample pooling. The overall system
increases reproducibility, decreases processing costs and eliminates most
manual preparation steps in next generation sequencing sample prep.
"SPRIworks HT is the only high-throughput system that automates not only
library construction, but size selection and enzymatic cleanups as well,"
said Julie Moore, director of strategic marketing at Beckman Coulter. "We
are excited to deliver a product that will enable genomic laboratories to
eliminate bottlenecks, increase throughput and maximize returns on instrument
investments."
The SPRIworks HT system complements existing SPRIworks platforms, SPRI
paramagnetic bead-based chemistry and Biomek liquid handling platforms, which
are used to support genomic researchers in their work to solve biological
problems through sequencing.
