Universal Sequencing Technology Corporation Launches High-Throughput Solution For Microbial WGS Library Preparation
Wisconsin Eagle/10224575

CARLSBAD, Calif. - WisconsinEagle -- Universal Sequencing Technology Corporation (UST), a global leader in genomic sequencing innovations, announced today the release of a high throughput microbial WGS library preparation kit enabling 2nd-generation short-read sequencers to produce long-range results in a much affordable price for microbial genomes.

With this special high throughput kit, users can pool more microbial samples in one sequencing run in combination with our 96-well plate multiplexing primers, which includes 10-base indexes and significantly reduces NGS library preparation and sequencing costs.

Researchers will now be able to take advantage of the ultra-long linked-read results to provide unparalleled genomic information with up to 200Kb gDNA fragments for microbial genome analyses.

With TELL-Seq technology, we've made NGS library preparation easy. Our products effectively improve performance, process time, and budget across a broad range of sample types with a proven track record.

Dr. Tom Chen, Chief Scientific Officer of UST, stated, "We are further streamlining the TELL-seq workflow with reduced cost per reaction and expanded throughput in response to increased customer demands."
