Detecting Pathogens in Infant Formula Using Next-Generation Sequencing

Agilent Solutions for Automated NGS Sample Prep provide: Flexibility to automate virtually any NGS reagent Performance to dramatically increase throughput and walk-away time Optimized SureSelectXT protocols to rapidly automate your NGS Sample Prep Agilent NGS Option A and Option B Both Deliver Higher Throughput with Less Hands-On Time Automating your NGS sample preparation with either Agilent NGS Option A or Option B increases laboratory throughput up five-fold compared to manual sample preparation. For whole genome sequencing applications that require only library preparation, 96 samples can be prepared in less than 4 hours to increase laboratory output to 960 sequencer ready libraries in a single week. For more complex protocols, such as targeted resequencing using Agilent SureSelectXT, both systems can complete library preparation and target enrichment for 192 samples in a 5-day work week. Agilent NGS Option A: High throughput and improved reproducibility with a small footprint Agilent Bravo Automated Liquid Handling Platform Agilent PlateLoc Thermal Microplate Sealer Agilent Bravo accessories for heating, cooling, shaking, and magnetic separation Agilent NGS Workstation Option B: High throughput and improved reproducibility with more walkaway time Agilent NGS Option A Agilent BenchCel 4R Microplate Handler Agilent Labware MiniHub

SureCall is a research desktop application combining both novel and widely accepted opensource algorithms for end-to-end NGS data analysis from alignment to categorization and annotation of mutations, supporting Agilent Target Enrichment applications.
