NGS library preparation.
In automated NGS workflows, thetaShake provides consistent agitation for magnetic beads during nucleic-acid purification — replacing manual mixing, eliminating bead sedimentation and delivering uniform recovery across every sample.
DNA fragmentation
Sheared to target size.
Adapter ligation
Adapters joined to fragments.
Bead purification
Mixing keeps beads in suspension.
Library QC
Uniform, reproducible yield.
