Problem
Traditional next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation methods are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to inconsistencies, especially when processing a large number of samples. These challenges can lead to bottlenecks in research workflows and increased costs due to reagent waste and failed experiments.
Solution
SeqWells provides scalable library preparation solutions for next-generation sequencing (NGS) based on tagmentation technology. Their kits and reagents enable rapid, high-throughput processing of hundreds to thousands of samples with improved uniformity, yield, and complexity. SeqWell's core technology, powered by TnX transposase, streamlines workflows, reduces handling steps, and incorporates built-in normalization to minimize variability. This approach accelerates the time to data generation, improves data quality, and reduces the need for expensive automation.
Target Audience
SeqWells' primary customers are researchers, core facilities, and genomics labs involved in next-generation sequencing, including those focused on plasmid sequencing, gene editing QC, low-pass WGS, microbial sequencing, and viral sequencing.
