Simple, automated, and portable library preparation of VolTRAX V2b
The VolTRAX V2b device along with the cartridge allows a user to choose a library preparation protocol, load their sample with supplied reagents and press go. The device prepares the library following a series of steps programmed by the software.
The device includes heating elements for incubations and PCR, and magnetic elements for bead-based separations. These features combine with the VolTRAX capabilities to precisely move, mix and incubate droplets to enable both basic and complex sample preparation methods to be carried out with a click of a button.
VolTRAX V2b is simple to use and needs only minutes of hands-on time to prepare a library.
