Introduction<\/strong>High-throughput genomic analysis is an indispensable and important tool in life science research, and this technology plays a vital role in promoting scientific research progress. In order to meet the urgent need for efficient and accurate preparation methods in the scientific research field, seqWell's Express Plex\u2122 Library Kit provides a solution specifically for high-throughput preparation of plasmid and amplicon libraries. In the traditional manual library preparation method, it takes up to 90 minutes to complete the preparation of 96 samples, of which 30 minutes are occupied by manual work. This method is not only inefficient, but also prone to errors due to human factors. To improve this situation, this article compared two library preparation methods, one using the seqWell ExpressPlex\u2122 Library Kit on an Opentrons Flex\u2122 pipetting workstation, and the other using manual library preparation. By combining the Flex Pipetting Station with the seqWell ExpressPlex\u2122 Library Kit, we can significantly reduce library preparation time and increase sample throughput. This automated solution not only improves preparation efficiency, but also reduces the risk of human error, providing a more reliable and efficient tool for life science research. Materials and Methods<\/strong> ExpressPlex workflow: According to the Express Plex workflow, we performed library preparation on a Flex automated pipetting workstation. During the experiment, we input 16 ng of pUC19, then added all components to the reaction plate, mixed at 3000 rpm for 90 seconds, and then performed subsequent library preparation and mixing steps. The final library was sequenced at 2X150 bp on a NextSeq 2000 sequencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
