In addition, the company has announced upcoming improvements to the GS Junior System, which include extension to sequencing read lengths and automation of the library preparation and emPCR workflow. The improvements will further ease the transition of projects from traditional Sanger capillary sequencing to 454 Sequencing Systems in basic and translational research laboratories around the world. The planned improvements will first become available in late 2012 and during 2013.
"We are pleased by the adoption of the GS Junior System worldwide and are excited to announce our efforts to continuously improve performance and ease of use of the platform," said Thomas Schinecker, President of 454 Life Sciences, a Roche Company. "These improvements make our long read sequencing solution more user friendly and enable customers to convert projects from Sanger to next-generation sequencing more easily."
