AstraZeneca’s journey with automated library prep
25 Sept 2025In oncology R&D, speed and scale is crucial, however in terms of generating high-quality RNA-seq data across increasingly large cohorts, traditional library prep workflows struggle to keep pace. AstraZeneca is facing this exact challenge and were seeking out a solution to reduce delays in discovery pipelines and limitations in data-driven decision-making.
Discover how AstraZeneca was able to find a solution that supported large-scale oncology projects and was able to optimize resources and produce reliable and consistent data.

Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples. Find the best automated liquid handlers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.RNA-SeqRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a next-generation sequencing technique used to analyze the transcriptome, providing insights into gene expression and regulation. This method is essential for genomics, disease research, and personalized medicine.
