Watchmaker Genomics says it will collaborate with Revvity to automate and verify methods for all of its DNA and RNA library preparation kits on the Sciclone
G3 NGSx liquid handling workstation. The agreement makes Revvity the first provider to automate Watchmaker’s entire library preparation portfolio.
By integrating Watchmaker’s streamlined DNA and RNA library preparation kits with Revvity’s platform, laboratories can now implement automation with optimized, ready-to-run protocols that reduce hands-on time, reduce errors, and increase throughput, according to Sandra Rowe, vp of marketing at Watchmaker Genomics. The collaboration delivers end-to-end automation of Watchmaker’s NGS library preparation portfolio, including support for low-input and FFPE sample types, and enables up to 96 samples per run, she added.
“As we launch new innovations such as TAPS for methylation analysis and library normalization tools, continued collaboration with Revvity will be key to ensuring these technologies are accessible and scalable,” said Rowe.
“We’re teaming up with Watchmaker to deliver robust, automated workflows that help genomics labs simplify operations and improve data quality,” said Kevin Quick, vp of platforms at Revvity. “We look forward to continuing this collaboration, including extending method availability to additional platforms to bring even more flexible and scalable NGS solutions to researchers worldwide.”
The Sciclone G3 NGSx platform is a high-throughput liquid handling system used in genomic labs for library prep, PCR setup, and sample processing. Coupled with Watchmaker’s library prep kits, labs can now run entire workflows more efficiently, said Quick.
