Boston, MA and Boulder, CO, February 23, 2026 — At the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting 2026 in Orlando, FL, Volta Labs, a leader in next-generation sequencing (NGS) sample preparation automation, today announced the launch of the Callisto™ Complete Kit for DNA EF Library Prep. The new solution pairs Watchmaker Genomics’ best-in-class NGS sample preparation chemistry with Volta’s digital fluidics automation to deliver a fully automated, PCR-free whole genome sequencing (WGS) library preparation workflow.
As whole genome sequencing continues to expand across clinical research and translational settings, PCR-free workflows are increasingly preferred to minimize amplification bias, reduce sequencing artifacts, and enable more uniform genome coverage, particularly in GC-rich regions. However, executing PCR-free library preparation demands precision and reproducibility, making automation critical for labs seeking consistent results without increasing staffing burden. By eliminating manual liquid handling and reducing operator variability, the Callisto™ Complete Kit enables laboratories to generate reproducible, high-quality libraries while freeing technical staff to focus on higher-value work.
