Agilent Magnis NGS Prep System

Agilent has launched the Magnis NGS Prep System, a fully automated next-generation sequencing library preparation system. The firm has designed the platform to help researchers easily assay multiple genes and complex genetic aberrations from genomic DNA, including degraded samples such as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens, Agilent said. The system comes with pre-aliquoted reagents and pre-set protocols, and is fully compatible with Agilent's SureSelect [XT HS] library prep workflow. The system can provide reproducible results with a one-day turnaround time, Agilent noted.
