Agilent Technologies SureSelectXT HS NGS Library Prep

Agilent Technologies has launched the Agilent SureSelect^{XT HS}, its newest next-generation sequencing library prep product. SureSelect^{XT HS} provides total workflow management for laboratories, from QC to target enrichment, analysis, and interpretation, the company said. It's optimized for labs with a requirement to sequence DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples, which may have degraded over time. SureSelect^{XT HS} also incorporates molecular barcodes, improving overall precision and producing high complexity libraries on a broad range of tissue types and low- and high-quality FFPE samples. SureSelect^{XT HS} libraries require as little as 10 ng of starting DNA, and use molecular barcodes to assist error correction. Additionally, faster and more efficient processing with master-mixed reagents that require less hands-on time, coupled with a 90-minute hybridization enables labs to now move from sample to sequencer in a single day.
