REM e System: Walk-Away emPCR Enrichment and Bead Hybridization
The REM e System is a liquid handler accessory designed to fully automate the emPCR enrichment and sequence primer annealing steps in the Genome Sequencer FLX System workflow. The REM e System dramatically simplifies the sequencing workflow by replacing five hours of dedicated manual lab work with an automated walk-away procedure. The module can be readily integrated into most commonly available liquid handling platforms, providing a cost-effective solution to increase sequencing productivity and consistency for all GS FLX Titanium series run formats.
- Time Savings: Eliminates manual processing, including multiple wash cycles of hand pipetting, centrifugation, bead capture, and vortexing. Reduces up to 5 hours of hands-on work into a simple 15 minute liquid handler setup.
- Improved Consistency: Enhances PCR enrichment accuracy and precision by minimizing user error, reducing variability and eliminating potential sources of failure such as mispipetting.
- Versatility: Supports all GS FLX Titanium series emulsion oil formats - Large, Medium and Small Volume (LV, MV, SV). Works for a wide variety of libraries including shotgun, Paired End, cDNA and amplicon libraries, with or without Multiplex Identifiers (MIDs). The system can support up to four sequencing runs per day.
