What Path Are You On?
Successful library preparation starts here

Most researchers know that next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation protocols can be complex. Do not let these intricate protocols deter you from creating a quality library. Having multiple quality control (QC) checkpoints throughout your workflow can help ensure the creation of a quality library.

The Agilent Automated Electrophoresis portfolio offers multiple systems that perform reliable QC, each offering different advantages in terms of throughput, sensitivity, speed, and resolution. See what each system can offer your lab to accelerate your NGS workflows.

The 2100 Bioanalyzer system

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system, along with various kits, automates the sizing and quantitation of your nucleic acid samples with lab-on-a-chip technology. This well-established system in the next-generation sequencing (NGS) marketplace, which integrates the automated electrophoresis instrument, data processing software and consumables, revolutionized the analysis of nucleic acids by delivering excellent data quality.

The 2100 Bioanalyzer system has paved the way to secure experimental success over the past 20 years. Not only does it have over 60,000 citations in peer reviewed scientific papers but is also included in numerous protocols for NGS library preparation.
