Lab Automation Unplugged: MGI’s Approach to Turning Challenges Into Breakthroughs

Advances in research are often limited by workflow demands, pushing researchers to seek technologies that improve lab processes.

Yet, incompatibility between legacy and modern instruments can hinder optimization and data consistency. Consequently, fields like genomics, drug development and microbiology are increasingly turning to automation to boost efficiency and precision.

In this Teach Me in 10 episode, Jonathan Ramos Acaro, Automation Technical Lead at MGI, discusses how automation streamlines tasks – from sample extraction and prep to sequencing and analysis – handling repetitive, error-prone steps like normalization, pooling and bead-based purification.
