Automated NGS Library Preparation System
This breakthrough in epigenetics assay and library preparation automation provides superior throughput and complete walk-away capability.
The IP-Star® Compact Automated System represents a breakthrough in epigenetics assay and library preparation automation providing superior throughput, reproducibility of results, and complete walk-away capability.* The system provides the flexibility needed to change multiple parameters in your protocols to achieve optimal experimental conditions. Samples generated on the system are compatible with popular downstream applications such as qPCR, microarrays and next generation sequencing platforms. In addition to automated ChIP and DNA methylation protocols, this system contains a wide variety of protocols including the new tagmentation-based ChIPmentation, next generation sequencing library preparation and sample purification.
The automated IP-Star compact system reduces hands-on time to just 30 minutes, is ideal for low sample starting amounts and reduces variability between operators and labs.
Ideal for:
- Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
- Chipmentation
- Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP)
- Library preparation for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms
- Hydroxymethylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (hMeDIP)
- Methyl-binding domain protein capture assays (MethylCap)
- Sequential ChIP (Re-ChIP)
- Bisulfite conversion
- DNA purification (IPure)
Features
- Magnetic-bead technology for excellent reproducibility
- Open platform allows changes in protocol parameters
- Protocols optimal for 100 µl or 200 µl volumes
- Processing up to 16 samples
- Automated reagent dispensing
- Controlled temperatures with Peltier blocks
- User-friendly simple touch screen interface
- Minimal footprint
