The Easiest and Most Accurate NGS Workflow Just got Better

Automating sample preparation streamlines processes, reduces hands-on time, and minimizes errors for an easier, faster, and more accurate sequencing study. The TruSeq Sample Preparation Kits are specifically designed with master-mixed reagents and a simplified protocol to take advantage of automation possibilities.

Now, Illumina takes automated sample prep one step further. By partnering with Covaris, Caliper, and Sage, we are able to offer researchers automated fragmentation and size selection steps. These options further simplify sample prep protocols, while increasing walk-away time and accuracy. The end result: an unparalleled next-generation sequencing workflow providing the fastest, easiest way to go from samples to biologically relevant data.
