Identifying the viral strain

NGS library prep

Detailed, sequence-based analysis that provides an understanding of the nature and mutation of the virus and the resulting disease state is the key to detection of viral pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Next generation sequencing (NGS) offers a comprehensive view of the complete genome, providing information about viral origins, pathogenesis, genetic variations, immune responses and phylogenetics. Tecan’s library preparation kits and DreamPrep NGS workstation offer a complete solution for consistent high throughput automated library prep.

NGS AUTOMATION

Automate your NGS library preparation – including the Trio RNA-Seq™ Library Preparation Kit – on the DreamPrep NGS workstation.

This solution provides consistent, high throughput sample-to-sequence libraries for detection, surveillance and evolution studies in your lab.
