In the high-stakes realm of NGS labs, automation is no longer a luxury—it's essential! High-throughput (and increasingly lower-throughput) environments are turning to automation not just as a solution but as a standard to improve reproducibility.
Rishikesh conducted the analysis below! Here is the TL;DR:
- The precision of automated systems significantly reduces human error, ensuring data reliability and streamlining operations
- For labs juggling large sample volumes, automation is the key to avoiding bottlenecks and delivering timely results. Higher volumes labs rely on multiple instruments, with a focus on “specialized NGS instruments” vs. generic liquid handlers
- So in other words - labs are not just looking for any automation; they seek systems that offer minimal manual intervention, adaptability to the complex needs of NGS workflows, and scalability to grow with their NGS ambitions.
- Despite the clear benefits, the cost of entry is a hurdle for many. Yet, an expanding market for refurbished equipment is an option
