Automated protein quantification assays for the Opentrons Flex
Measuring protein concentrations is an essential part of many routine lab procedures as it is often a prerequisite before subjecting samples to electrophoresis, chromatography, or other molecular biology analysis. Using a robotic liquid handler allows the lab not only to process higher throughput numbers of samples with minimal hands-on time, but also to establish a standardized protocol to consistently generate reliable test results in the long run. Explore three Opentrons Flex™ protocols that have been developed to respectively perform common protein quantification methods: BCA protein assays, Bradford protein assays and BCA peptide quantification assays.
A library prep workflow using QIAseq FX DNA Library Kit and QIAseq Normalizer Kit on the Opentrons Flex
As the ambition of sequencing projects and capacities of sequencing platforms grows, labs are increasingly looking for ways to streamline laborious and time-consuming preparation of libraries. One way of achieving this is through automating the library prep workflow. Additionally, library prep workflows are becoming more efficient as a result of advancements in library prep chemistry, with features that support automation, shorter workflows and/or fewer pipetting steps. Explore the automation of QIAGEN’s QIAseq FX and Normalizer chemistries on the Opentrons Flex™ for efficient preparation of E. coli, human genomic and mixed microbial DNA libraries.
