下一代測序（NGS）徹底改變了
基因組學研究領域，使全基因組測序比以往任何時候都 更有效率。然而，典型的NGS 工作流程是鮮有革新的，因為它面臨許多手動操作步驟和 來自成本、通量以及結果變異性的諸多挑戰。傳統的樣品制備和數據
分析方法非常耗時， 并更易出錯。 針對這些挑戰，
自動化技術為此提供了相應的解決方案，并通過減少樣品間變異提高了 最終數據的精準度。然而，為您的NGS 工作流程選擇適合的自動化設備是一個復雜的過 程。為了給您的
實驗室配備最佳的自動化整合系統，首先要對以下的四個因素進行評估， 然后再作出決定： ? 自動化將如何影響您的實驗流程？ ? 您可選的自動化方案有哪些？ ? 需要多少培訓？ ? 您的自動化解決方案是否需要擴展，以滿足未來的需求？ Next generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomics, enabling entire genomes to be sequenced more efficiently than ever before. However, the typical NGS workflow is less revolutionary, with numerous manual steps and challenges that include cost, throughput, and variability. Traditional methods for sample preparation and data analysis can be extremely time consuming with numerous opportunities for error. Automation provides a solution for many of these challenges, and increases precision by reducing sample-to-sample variability. Nonetheless, choosing the right automation instrument or instruments for your NGS workflow is a complex process. For the best integration of automation into your lab, evaluate these four factors before making any decision: ? How will automation impact your processes? ? What are your automation options? ? How much of a learning curve will there be? ? Will your automation solution expand to meet future needs?
