Anyone in a lab running next generation sequencing (NGS) experiments knows what a challenge it is to keep track of the myriad samples, libraries, adapters, reagents, instruments and associated data.\u00a0 Trying to manually track these with spreadsheets and notebooks can prove to be a frustrating and erratic experience.\u00a0 We are scientists just like you, and we have experienced these same frustrations.\u00a0 As a result, we developed a reliable way to trace samples and experiments; an easy way to access the details of the reagents consumed, the instrumentation used, and the scientists who performed the experiments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Producing High-Quality Libraries<\/h2>\n

NGS is an essential tool for researchers, and the quality of library preparation is a critical success factor.\u00a0 High-quality libraries generate high-quality results.\u00a0 With the many steps involved to produce high-quality libraries, it is imperative to track where in the workflow these samples are and minimize potential error and rework, all without a cumbersome amount of administrative overhead.\u00a0 The latest advances to the Library Prep capabilities in the NGS Workflow Solution<\/a> for Thermo Scientific\u2122 Core LIMS\u2122 software streamlines data capture, linking sample metadata to assay data, and tracks sample progression through the workflow steps in real time.\u00a0 Specifically, researchers can now:<\/p>\n
