The Earlham Institute partnered with Automata to eliminate a major bottleneck in high-throughput genomics: manual sample quality control. By deploying Automata’s LINQ™ platform to integrate 11 instruments across five sequencing pipelines, the Institute built a fully automated, digitally connected QC system with seamless LIMS integration. The result is a 5× increase in throughput, an 80% reduction in manual touchpoints, and dramatically increased walkaway time for specialist scientists, transforming QC from a limiting step into a scalable, data-rich foundation for national genomics infrastructure.
