Data

Performance data

Miniaturized LSK114 preps with high yields

Callisto generates significantly higher library yields across a wide range of DNA input sizes compared to manual preps. 1 µg of input DNA yields enough library to load a PromethION flowcell and generate high quality sequencing data. Key benefits also include 2x higher library yield, 2x miniaturization and up to 6x less hands-on time.

Libraries retain integrity of input DNA

The App uses a gentle process that prevents shearing, preserving the integrity of high molecular weight input DNA in the output libraries and enabling high N50 values when sequenced. The size distribution of input DNA and output libraries demonstrates strong overlap with only minimal shift.

High quality sequencing on Oxford Nanopore sequencing platforms

Libraries prepared on Callisto deliver high-quality sequencing results on MinION and PromethION platforms with exceptional scores on key metrics including N50, Q score, and pore occupancy with single loading. Consistently generating >90 GB of data is now feasible on PromethION flowcell due to the high efficiency library preparation process. Data was obtained on a PromethION flowcell that was loaded once with 400 ng of the libraries prepared on Callisto. Maximize output: achieve >90 Gb on PromethION from a single library load over 72 hours.
