Wafergen Apollo 324 NGS Library Preparation System

The Apollo 324 is a benchtop system that automates next-generation sequence (NGS) library preparation workflows by using bead technology to execute high-performance isolation and purification of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, plasmid and so on) and proteins.  The system automates end-repair, A-tail addition, adapter ligation and final double-bead-based cleanup and size selection.  The Apollo 324 enables simultaneous processing of one to eight samples, with batch processing for 32 samples at a time.  Up to eight samples can be prepared in approximately four hours, yielding products ready for amplification or direct sequencing, and a batch of 32 libraries can be created in less than eight hours.
