Tools to guide you through the workflow

Keeping track of your protocols and samples, and optimizing data storage are challenges inherent to any lab operating a next-generation sequencing workflow. As all elements of the GeneReader NGS System were developed in synchronization, we are in the unique position of being able to offer a range of tools, designed alongside the workflow to simplify and streamline operation of the GeneReader in your lab.

GeneRead Assistant is your personal step-by-step guide to the complete GeneReader NGS System workflow, from nucleic acid extraction to data analysis and interpretation. This interactive iPad app consolidates all relevant information from handbooks and user manuals to provide you with a comprehensive overview of all steps of the workflow. Every GeneReader instrument will be supplied with an iPad on which to install the GeneRead Assistant. Download your GeneRead Assistant App here.

GeneRead Link is a middleware that automates the transfer of data between the instruments and software of the GeneReader NGS System and a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), improving the efficiency and productivity of your laboratory workflow. GeneRead Link provides the user with the option to document manual test results and automatically archives results and reports from connected instruments. In doing so, it provides a complete chain of custody for your samples in the QIAGEN NGS workflow, from sample preparation to data analysis.

The GeneRead Databank software ensures there is always enough available disc space to enable continuous operation of your GeneReader NGS System, by managing the transfer of data between the GeneReader workstation, QCI Powerstation and long term storage devices.
