seqWell Introduces AgriPrep™ Library Prep Kit
seqWell announced the launch of the AgriPrep™ Library Prep Kit, expanding its next-generation TnX™ transposase product portfolio. The company stated that AgriPrep is designed to facilitate broader adoption of low-pass whole genome sequencing (LP-WGS) and SKIM-sequencing approaches that deliver genome-wide insights at a lower cost than traditional whole genome sequencing.
According to seqWell, the new kit addresses scalability and cost barriers that have limited the use of genome-wide sequencing approaches in agrigenomics.
Workflow Design And High-Throughput Capability
AgriPrep is based on a tagmentation-driven library preparation method using seqWell’s one-step ExpressPlex workflow. The protocol requires approximately 100 minutes from start to finish, with around 30 minutes of hands-on time.
