CARLSBAD, Calif. - March 14, 2023 - PRLog -- Universal Sequencing Technology Corporation (UST), a global leader in genomic sequencing innovations, announced today the release of a high throughput microbial WGS library preparation kit enabling 2nd-generation short-read sequencers to produce long-range results in a much affordable price for microbial genomes.

With this special high throughput kit, users can pool more microbial samples in one sequencing run in combination with our 96-well plate multiplexing primers, which includes 10-base indexes and significantly reduces NGS library preparation and sequencing costs.

Researchers will now be able to take advantage of the ultra-long linked-read results to provide unparalleled genomic information with up to 200Kb gDNA fragments for microbial genome analyses.

With TELL-Seq technology, we've made NGS library preparation easy. Our products effectively improve performance, process time, and budget across a broad range of sample types with a proven track record.

Dr. Tom Chen, Chief Scientific Officer of UST, stated, "We are further streamlining the TELL-seq workflow with reduced cost per reaction and expanded throughput in response to increased customer demands."

UST's TELL-Seq is a patent-pending transposase-based linked-read library preparation technology that enables short-read 2nd generation DNA sequencing platforms, such as Illumina sequencers, to produce long-range sequencing results (averaging linked-read molecule length greater than 40kb and up to 200kb). With a simple workflow, a sequencing-ready Illumina library can be prepared in PCR tubes in about 3 hours, cost-effective and no special lab equipment needed.
