Product Description

The Zephyr^® G3 NGS Workstation is a benchtop liquid handler designed to automate preparation of libraries for next generation sequencing and address clinical requirements for the physical separation of pre-and post-PCR processes. The simplified user-interface and integrated hardware maximized laboratory productivity while reducing variability resulting from manual pipetting steps.

NEW: Optional UV light and On Deck

Post PCR Processing – the Zephyr G3 Next Generation Sequencing Workstation was developed to meet the needs of the growing number of laboratories with clinical requirements to separate automation of pre- and post-PCR properties. The Zephyr G3 NGS Workstation provides pre-programmed methods for the post-PCR processing steps of library construction including:

• Post PCR SPRI Purification
• qPCR Setup (96 or 384 Well)
• LabChip GX Plate Transfer
• Volume and/or Concentration Normalization (based on qPCR or LabChip GX Results)
• Indexed Library Pooling

General Library Construction – additionally, the Zephyr G3 NGS Workstation can be used for high-throughput processing of anywhere from 8-96 samples, through the steps required for Next Generation Sequencing Library Construction.

• Enzyme Mastermix Additions
• Isothermal Enzymatic Incubation
• Bead Based (SPRI) Purification

The Zephyr G3 NGS Workstation comes pre-configured with fully integrated hardware to run the supported applications, including:

• 1-200ul 96 Channel High Volume Head (HVH)
• 12 Position Deck
• Left Handed Offset Gripper for Plates and Lids
• Integrated 4-110° Thermal Locator
• Integrated 4-70° Thermal Shaker
• Disposable Tip Waste Chute
• 4-sided enclosure with Front Access
• Maestro Control Software and GUI
• PC Controller and Monitor
