TTP Labtech and Advanced Analytical Technologies have signed a co-marketing agreement to support joint solutions for next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation workflows.
The new NGS methods have been published in Cell and Nature Scientific Data by researchers from Stanford.1,2 In their research, the Stanford teams used a combination of TTP Labtech’s mosquito automated low-volume liquid handlers with Advanced Analytical’s Fragment Analyzer, to prepare miniaturised RNA-seq libraries from nearly a thousand single-cells to enable mapping of stem cell differentiation along multiple mesodermal lineages.
“This semi-automated, robust SMART-seq2 workflow for single-cell RNA-seq has reduced our hands-on time from two weeks to a couple of days, while increasing the accuracy and lowering the cost,” said Rahul Sinha, PhD, Prof. Irving Weissman Lab, Stanford University. “The ATTI Fragment Analyzer and TTP Labtech’s mosquito X1 and mosquito HTS have been essential for this new workflow.”
