Abstract
Complete nucleic acid library preparation devices are provided. Aspects of the devices include: a thermal chip module comprising multiple nodes; one or more plate locations; a robotically controlled liquid handler configured to transfer liquid between the one or more plate locations and the thermal chip module; and a bulk reagent dispenser configured to access each node of the thermal chip module.
Claims22
A complete nucleic acid library preparation device, the device comprising:
- a thermal chip module comprising multiple nodes, each node comprising a wall defining a vessel, wherein each node is open both at the top and bottom;
- a lid for the thermal chip module;
- a plate location;
- a robotically controlled liquid handler configured to draw and dispense volumes of liquid to transfer liquid between the plate location and the thermal chip module;
- a bulk reagent dispenser distinct from the robotically controlled liquid handler and configured to access each node of the thermal chip module.
