Manual sample preparation system MIRO CANVAS

laboratoryfor sequencingbenchtop

A revolutionary microfluidics platform which enables full automation of NGS prep protocols The compact MIRO CANVAS provides true walk-away automation of complex next generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation and hybridization protocols, requiring only 15 minutes of hands-on time. The affordable and easy-to-use system uses innovative MIRO cartridges to minimize reagent consumption and produce high quality results with verified protocols for long-read sequencing, target enrichment and on-demand processing of samples. Fully automated Simple, walk-away automation for on-demand NGS sample preparation Efficient Minimize costs with up to 75 % reduction in reagent use and only 15 minutes of hands-on time Flexible Established NGS sample prep protocols for both short- and long-read sequencing platforms MIRO CANVAS uses digital microfluidics to perform sample preparation steps within the singe-use MIRO cartridge. Sample and reagents are pipetted into the cartridge, and the microfluidics system automatically performs steps required for sample and library preparation, without user intervention, to produce samples for sequencing. MIRO technology miro-canvas-electrode-board-zones MIRO technology uses electromechanical forces to move droplets over an array of electrodes. The electrode board has four thermal and four magnetic zones so that thermal cycling and magnetic bead operations can be performed automatically. Droplets move within the cartridge and are surrounded by air. The microfluidics technology also enables reduction of volumes for reduced running costs.
