Automation at scale - no compromise to #RNAseq performance.
At SLAS with Agilent, we presented a poster on automating the Watchmaker mRNA Library Prep Kit on Bravo NGS.
Result: manual-equivalent results, high reproducibility, no cross-contamination, 96 samples in ~7 hrs.

We’re at #PMWC26 connecting with leaders in precision medicine & diagnostics. Exciting interest in TAPS+ direct methylation library prep for integrated genetic + epigenetic analysis - especially in liquid biopsies. Visit booth C935 or catch Craig Marshall tomorrow at 9:45 AM!
#Epigenetics
TODAY 1:30 PM: catch our poster on rapid, PCR-free WGS w/ streamlined normalization for faster turnaround + strong performance. Don’t miss our talk Wed 3:20 PM. Swing by Manatee for free espresso 10–12 ☕️ #AGBTGM26 #WGS #Genomics #AGBT
@voltalabs.bsky.social just launched the Callisto™ Complete Kit for DNA EF Library Prep—powered by Watchmaker chemistry. Fully automated, PCR-free WGS with push-button simplicity for labs running at practical mid-throughput scale. #NGS #Genomics
🥼❄️ While the world watched the Winter Olympics, our Cape Town + Boulder teams went for gold in the first Watchmaker Lab Olympics (no real lab benches harmed). Lab-letes battled it out in Pipette Long Range, Label Trials & the legendary Wet Glove Challenge. 🏅
Headed to #AGBTGM26 with new data + big ideas. We’re sharing how we’re driving a step change in end-to-end WGS—less complexity, lower DNA input, better efficiency. Catch our talk Wed 3:20–3:35 + poster Tue 1:30–3:30 (#461). Let’s rethink genome workflows.
