AVENIO Edge System

AVENIO Edge System
Walk away from manual pipetting

Part of the Roche NGS Automation solution, the AVENIO Edge System* simplifies the inherent complexities of NGS workflows by automating key steps thereby optimizing lab resources, providing the freedom to walk away with confidence. 
 

The AVENIO Edge System is an all-in-one, pre-analytical platform that minimizes manual touchpoints, includes ready-to-load reagents, validated research protocols, on-board QC capabilities and intuitive software to manage your NGS sample workflows like never before.

A tale of two labs

Watch this 4:30 video to see how labs can reconceptualize the work week with the AVENIO Edge through:

  • Roche's centralized solution to the NGS sample preparation automation challenge
  • Minimal interaction = On-deck thermal cycling, quantification and pooling
  • Pre-made, plug-and-play, barcoded reagents (no pipetting)* - powered by KAPA
  • 20 minutes to "set-it-and-forget-it"
  • Up to 36 hours unattended run time (library preparation and target enrichment in one touch)
