The scripting of methods that will be applied to the Hamilton NGS STAR™ robot at the UFS-NGS Unit for automation of DNA library preparation is ongoing (July and August 2022).
The Separations team (http://separations.co.za/), which are the Illumina and Hamilton channel partners, led by Grant Kilian (Head of Sales) and Van Der Merwe (Divisional Manager of Robotics) visited the UFS-NGS on 21 July 2022, among other things, make plans for the training and optimal applications of the Hamilton NGS STAR liquid handler.
The team at the UFS-NGS Unit is looking forward to utilizing the NGS STAR workstation, which provides consistent results for assays, ranging from low-throughput pipetting protocols to high-throughput systems.
