Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Automation
From library prep to sample normalization, the Trilobot handles the repetitive, error-prone steps that stand between your samples and sequencing-ready plates.
Automating NGS on Trilobots
A full NGS library prep runs 5-8 hours from input to sequencing-ready output. The Trilobot is built to automate your NGS workflow, scale throughput, and increase walkaway time. No babysitting required.
Start Small. Scale When You're Ready.
We get it—you may not need a full automation buildout on day one. Start with a single Trilobot, prove out your process, and expand when your throughput demands it—without rebuilding your protocol or your setup from scratch.
What is Next-Generation Sequencing?
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a massively parallel sequencing technology that generates high-resolution genomic data across entire genomes, transcriptomes, or targeted gene panels in a single run. It's used across academic research, pharma, and biotech to characterize genetic variation, profile gene expression, identify somatic mutations, and map epigenetic modifications, producing comprehensive data that manual sequencing methods can’t deliver at scale. The sequencing itself is the easy part. Library preparation—the fragmentation, end repair, adapter ligation, cleanup, and normalization steps that happen before your sample reaches the instrument—is where precision matters most and where manual pipetting introduces the most risk. A small volume error or an inconsistent bead cleanup can skew coverage, introduce artifacts, or invalidate samples entirely. That's the workflow Trilobio automates.
Challenges of Manual NGS Library Prep
Benefits of Automating Next Gen Sequencing with Trilobio
Built-In Reliability
Consistent liquid handling at every step means data quality reflects your biology, not variability introduced at the bench.
Full Walkaway
Load your samples and walk away. Trilobot runs multi-step protocols unattended—no babysitting required.
More Samples, Less Time
The Trilobot runs unattended through multi-step protocols, reducing hands-on time across high-volume sample preps.
Run-to-Run Reproducibility
Every sample follows the same protocol to the same specification—no operator variation between technicians or across runs.
Throughput That Keeps Up
As capacity needs grow, Trilobot scales with them without the prep becoming the bottleneck.
End-to-End on One Platform
More of your workflow runs on one platform, so you spend less time managing instrument handoffs and more time on the science.
Flexible by Design
Swap tools, scale volumes, change formats—the Trilobot adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.
Starts at $25k/year
Full lab automation starting at $25k/year—less than most labs spend on a single liquid handler.
