Streamline NGS Library Prep with Beckman Coulter Automation
NGS library preparation is often time-consuming and error-prone. Manual pipetting can introduce inconsistencies and compromise precious samples.
Beckman Coulter offers automation solutions designed to address these challenges. By automating pipetting-intensive workflows, you can:
- Minimize your hands-on time.
- Improve your efficiency.
- Increase the robustness of your results
Benefits of Automation:
- Enhanced accuracy: reduce human errors associated with
manual pipetting. - Improved reproducibility: consistent results across experiments.
- Increased throughput: process more samples in less time.

Next Generation Sequencing is growing fast. As sequencing costs fall, NGS is becoming a common technique for knowledge discovery and disease research. Whatever your lab's throughput, NGS library prep is time-consuming and costly.
At lower throughput, automating with the Biomek i3-Series gives a fully automated, walk-away library prep solution. At higher throughput, combining the flexibility of a Biomek i-Series with the speed of an Echo Acoustic Liquid Handler saves time and reagent costs.
Whatever your target throughput, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences has an efficient solution.

RELY ON SPRI
SPRI (Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization) is a widely used method in next-generation sequencing (NGS) for library preparation and purification.
Beckman's SPRI beads offer several benefits for next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications:
- High precision: SPRI beads bind nucleic acids selectively and reversibly by type and size, for strong performance in extracting, purifying, cleaning and size-selecting nucleic acids,
- Automation-friendly: these paramagnetic beads automate easily on liquid handlers such as the Biomek i-Series, without centrifugation or filtration,
- Reproducibility: the uniform bead size gives highly reproducible results, crucial for consistent NGS workflows,
- Flexible size selection: SPRIselect reagents give control over DNA size selection, efficiently removing fragments outside the desired range,
- High binding capacity: the high surface-area-to-mass ratio increases binding capacity, effective for various genomic applications,
- Rapid purification: the fast magnetic response of SPRI beads allows rapid purifications, useful for high-throughput sequencing,
- Minimal non-specific binding: the non-styrene polymer surface reduces non-specific binding, for cleaner samples downstream,
Together, these features make Beckman's SPRI beads a key tool for NGS workflows, delivering high-quality samples and supporting accurate sequencing.
