Whole Genome Sequencing of Microbial Communities for Scaling Microbiome and Metagenomic Studies
21 Oct 2018A workflow utilizing the Labcyte® Echo® 525 Liquid Handler can provide the solution to cost-effectively scale whole genome sequencing (WGS) of microbiomes to meet the demands of this new era of microbiome research. This application note demonstrates how the Echo 525 Liquid Handler can be used to miniaturize WGS of microbial communities. Raw data can be processed, analyzed, and ready for interpretation within the hour, by utilizing CosmosID’s best-in-class microbiome bioinformatics platform.

Echo® 525 Liquid Handler
Beckman Coulter Life SciencesThe Echo 525 platform, like the other Echo liquid handler models, is designed to use sound energy to transfer reagents. Unlike the other Echo models, the Echo 525 platform transfers at a larger volume increment (25 nL). This enables the more rapid transfer of aqueous reagents required in biochemical and genomics assays setup.
