MagicPrep NGS draws on Tecan’s a few years of experience in robust liquid handling and NGS, employing its proprietary chemistries and reagents to deliver walkway preparation of NGS libraries. In collaboration with Singular Genomics, these same advantages at the moment are available to G4 sequencing users, allowing for conversion of MagicPrep NGS libraries into G4-ready samples using Singular Genomics adapters. The outcomes are comparable to those obtained by traditional methods,1 reaffirming the compatibility of MagicPrep NGS and the G4 Sequencing Platform.

We’re delighted to be working with Singular Genomics. This partnership will allow much more laboratories to make the most of hands-free library preparation with the MagicPrep NGS system, benefiting customers of each corporations.”

Klaus Lun, Executive Vice President and Head of the Life Sciences Division, Tecan.

This collaboration will provide a streamlined and efficient workflow to our customers by combining the unequalled speed and scalability of the G4 Sequencing Platform with the simplicity and ease-of-use of MagicPrep NGS automation.”

Jorge Velarde, SVP Corporate Development & Strategy, Singular Genomics.
