e-book: building confidence - sample preparation for NGS (expanded edition 2026)

Contents of the e-book

Over the last decade, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed genomics research, personalized medicine, and molecular diagnostics. Today's NGS technologies enable comprehensive analysis of genomes and transcriptomes, high-throughput identification of genetic variations, and insights at the single-cell level.

However, sequencing results are only as good as the quality of the sample and library preparation workflow. From nucleic acid extraction and library preparation to purification, size selection, and quantification, each step plays a critical role in generating reliable sequencing data.

This updated and expanded e-book explores how automation can help laboratories streamline NGS workflows, improve reproducibility, increase throughput, and reduce hands-on time. Whether you work in academic research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, or clinical genomics, this practical guide provides valuable insights into efficient and scalable NGS sample and library preparation.

Updated & Expanded Edition
Featuring new content on automated NGS library preparation and workflow automation.

Inside the e-book, you will find practical application notes and workflow examples covering topics such as:

  • DNA amplicon library preparation for Illumina® sequencing
  • Automated NGS library preparation
  • Viral DNA and RNA purification
  • High-throughput NGS workflows
  • Automated size selection for sequencing libraries

...and more.
