Watch this webinar on demand: Scaling PacBio Sequencing with Automated Library Prep for Core Labs

On October 8, 2024, Volta Labs sponsored a webinar featuring guest speakers from Mount Sinai and PacBio. In this webinar, Maya Fridrikh, PacBio sequencing manager at Mount Sinai, along with Greg Young, senior product manager at PacBio, share data and use cases based on their experience with the Callisto Sample Prep System. Callisto enables labs to scale sequencing by automating sample prep with preloaded apps that require no user programming or optimization.

Long-read SMRT (single-molecule real-time) sequencing on the PacBio platform is widely used for applications that are challenging with short-read NGS, and producing robust libraries requires precision and expertise. With the recent advancements in the throughput and speed of PacBio HiFi sequencing, labs need reliable, efficient sample prep methods to maximize sequencing capabilities. Callisto uses advanced technology to solve scalability, flexibility, and robustness challenges in PacBio library preparation.

Key takeaways:

  • Volta’s miniaturized PacBio app accepts the full-range of DNA mass with no loss of sequencing quality
  • Users can be trained in minutes to generate PacBio libraries with minimal inter-operator variability
  • Understand Callisto's compatibility with multiple shearing and size selection methods
