Problem
Current methods for quality control (QC) in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows rely on electrophoresis, an indirect method for sample characterization with inherent limitations. These traditional techniques often require significant sample volumes and can be less accurate and efficient, leading to bottlenecks in genomic research.
Solution
Evizia's PRECYSE instrument offers a direct physical imaging solution for biomolecules, such as DNA, using High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy (HSAFM) at single-molecule resolution. This technology enables researchers to visualize and analyze samples with greater accuracy and speed compared to traditional electrophoresis methods. PRECYSE streamlines NGS quality control by providing a cost-effective workflow that requires less sample material while improving the reliability of molecular analysis. The compact desktop instrument allows for rapid visualization and characterization of biomolecules down to their individual molecular structure, facilitating a deeper understanding of genomic complexity.
Target Audience
