Roche and Hamilton Robotics have introduced an integrated platform that enables automated DNA sample enrichment for Roche’s 454 GS Junior sequencer. The platform builds on the integration of Roche’s REM e system with Hamilton’s Microlab Nimbus NGS workstation, resulting in reduced hands-on time, minimized operational variability, and more consistent results.

“This new integrated platform will replace about four hours of laborious manual work,” Thomas Schinecker, head of 454 Life Sciences, said in a statement. “It is a true walkaway solution, offering an economical, convenient, compact enrichment procedure for all our GS Junior customers.” The platform has been fully tested and validated to automate the emPCR breaking, bead enrichment, and sequence primer annealing steps in the GS Junior sample preparation workflow.

The REM e system is a liquid-handler accessory designed to fully automate the emPCR enrichment and sequence primer annealing steps in the 454 sequencing workflow. The module can be integrated into most liquidhandling platforms, providing a solution to increase sequencing productivity and consistency for the GS Flx and GS Junior systems.
