Automate End-to-End NGS Library Preparation
Scale Library Prep Without Adding Manual Handoffs
Library preparation is often one of the most labor-intensive stages of NGS, connecting extraction and quality control with sequencing. LINQ orchestrates supported liquid handlers, instruments, kits and workflow steps within scalable, walkaway systems.
Connect fragmentation, ligation, cleanup, quality control, normalization and pooling while retaining the equipment and methods that support your science.
Connect More of Your NGS Workflow
Multi-vendor Integration
Connect your existing liquid handler with supported library preparation kits, instruments and sequencing platforms without rebuilding the workflow around a single vendor.
Designed Around Pre- and Post-PCR Separation
Configure automation around pre- and post-PCR laboratory layouts to help reduce post-amplicon contamination risk. LINQ coordinates timing and sample movements across both spaces as one connected process.
Modular Automation That Scales
Choose from Small, Medium and Large configurations designed for pre- or post-PCR environments. Start with core library preparation, then add quality control, reagent handling, consumables storage and cold storage as demand grows.
End-to-End Workflow Automation
Automate library preparation, cleanup, quantification, normalization and pooling from sample input to sequencer-ready output. Add plate sealing, barcode reading and storage where required.
Integrated Quality Control and Workflow Oversight
Connect quantification and fragment-analysis instruments directly to the workflow. LINQ coordinates timing, sample movements and execution data, while validated rules can advance, reroute or flag samples according to QC results.
Choose the Right NGS Configuration
Core Library Preparation
Designed for labs ready to extend automation beyond the liquid-handler deck, this two-bench configuration connects library preparation with supporting steps such as thermal cycling, centrifugation, plate sealing and peeling, and barcode reading. It reduces manual transfers while providing a foundation that can expand as workflow requirements change.
Library Preparation + Integrated QC
This three-bench configuration extends the core library preparation system with integrated quantification and fragment analysis for post-PCR library QC. Additional consumables storage supports longer workflows, while scheduling and sample tracking keep preparation and QC connected within the same process.
Extended Throughput, Reagent Handling, and Cold Storage
Designed for higher-volume or longer-running workflows, this three-bench configuration builds on integrated library preparation and QC with reagent dispensing, plate washing, consumables management, and cold storage. Add a magnet plate washer for higher throughput. One bench uses a taller configuration to provide additional storage capacity.
Connect Library Preparation, QC, and Workflow Data
LINQ coordinates instrument tasks, sample movements and critical timings across library preparation and quality control. Monitor run progress, maintain sample and labware records, and connect workflow status and QC results with your wider laboratory data systems.
