Liquid handling and automation

MagicPrep® NGS System

The MagicPrep® NGS system is an all-in-one, benchtop solution for fully automated next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation. Designed for Illumina platforms, it simplifies the entire workflow—delivering high-quality, ready-to-sequence libraries with minimal effort and exceptional consistency.

Technical Highlights

Compact, reliable, and fully integrated for consistent performance.
MagicPrep is optimized for precision and reproducibility with prefilled reagents, gas-controlled pressure, and ready-to-use protocols in a single plug-and-play system.

  • Positive-pressure, cartridge-based liquid handling
  • Supports up to 8 samples per run
  • Uses pre-aliquoted reagent kits for DNA and RNA workflows
  • vntegrated hardware, software, consumables, and workflow
  • Compact footprint for any lab bench (58 × 25 × 31 cm)
  • Built-in deck storage preserves completed libraries
Smart Operation & Control

Intuitive automation that requires no programming expertise.
MagicPrep’s touchscreen and onboard software walk users through setup and execution, enabling quick start-up and complete walk-away operation with reproducible results.

  • Touchscreen interface for easy protocol setup
  • No-code workflow initiation and monitoring
  • Full run automation from sample input to final library
  • Consistent performance with >99% success rates
  • Standardized operation minimizes user error

Workflow Applications

Versatile NGS library preparation for multiple sequencing needs.
MagicPrep supports a range of pre-validated workflows for preparing high-quality DNA and RNA libraries using Tecan’s proprietary reagent kits.

  • DNA-Seq workflows for 50–500 ng input
  • PCR-free protocols for reduced amplification bias
  • mRNA-Seq workflows for 10 ng to 1 µg input RNA
  • Dual-indexed outputs compatible with Illumina sequencers
  • Ideal for transcriptomics, genomics, and small-RNA studies

Key Benefits

Reliable automation, exceptional results, and minimal hands-on time.
MagicPrep transforms NGS prep by combining ease of use with high reproducibility, making it ideal for small-to-mid throughput labs, core facilities, and clinical research.

  • Hands-on time reduced to less than 10 minutes
  • Pre-validated reagent kits simplify workflow setup
