Many of the most recent advances in translational and clinical research are driven by next-generation sequencing (NGS). Whether it is expanding our understanding of cancer, deepening our knowledge of developmental biology, or providing insights into complex microbial populations, NGS-based research touches all facets of human disease and well¬being.

Explore our integrated Roche Sequencing solutions, including sample collection, oncology assays, and solutions for every step of the NGS sample prep workflow — from input to sequencing-ready libraries. Our integrated workflows include tools for accurate QC at both ends of the sample prep process to improve library quality and increase sequencing success. Roche offers proven, simple, and complete sample prep solutions for many sample types, including FFPE-derived samples, low-input samples, and degraded inputs.

Optimize tumor yield with precise FFPE tissue dissection

In this presentation, we will introduce the AVENIO Millisect System, a digitally guided, automated tissue dissection system for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue slides. We will share data from a study demonstrating greater yield of nucleic acid and proteins from the automated dissection compared to manual dissection, as well as comparable quality of nucleic acids.
