BioRobot HT Plasmid System

Walkaway purification and reaction setup for genomics projects

The BioRobot HT Plasmid System fulfils the front-end needs of high-throughput sequencing laboratories by generating enough sequencing reactions to continuously supply up to seven 96-lane sequencers. The high-quality and optimal concentration of the purified DNA is suited to all sequencing technologies and routinely yields read-lengths of 630 bp at a 99% level of accuracy. This novel integrated system combines MagAttract magnetic bead technology and leading-edge instrumentation to provide a complete solution for front-end sequencing tasks.

The QIAGEN High-Throughput Plasmid System delivers:
Unattended reaction setup	sequencing setup is performed using purified template, in 96- or 384-well formats
Overnight operation	efficient workflow and early completion of projects
High-quality DNA	highly pure plasmid DNA for optimal sequencing results
High-throughput	up to 60 x 96-well plates processed in a single 16.5-hour run for maximized data output
Optimized hardware	a system optimized for MagAttract technology, ensuring quick startup and continued success
