Rapid, Decentralized Genomic Profiling with Automated NGS

Recent years have seen advances in automation that have brought Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) out of specialized reference laboratories and into local pathology departments. This innovation has allowed biomarker assessment to take place “in-house”, facilitating shorter turnaround times and more efficient use of laboratory resources. During this workshop, hear how one lab with no previous NGS experience was able to adopt a rapid, amplicon-based NGS profiling assay via an automated semi-conductor sequencing system. Also, learn how other institutions are leveraging rapid, end-to-end NGS to augment existing laboratory workflows.
