Juno
Increase productivity and efficiency with automated, cost-effective and easy-to-use workflows for targeted DNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation.
Using Juno™ you can produce dozens to hundreds of sample libraries daily for hypothesis-free RNA-seq or targeted DNA NGS. Optimized for use with Illumina® sequencing systems in combination with Fluidigm supplied sample barcodes, Juno enables accurate sequencing of more samples—faster and more affordably than ever before.

Technology
Juno integrates IFC control and thermal cycling to enable scalable, automated NGS library preparation for Illumina sequencers and IFC preparation for gene expression, genotyping and digital PCR applications using the Fluidigm Biomark HD.
Juno: NGS Library Preparation Workflow
1

Transfer
Dispense the purified DNA, sample barcodes, PCR primers and master mix into designated inlets on the IFC before placing it onto the Juno loading tray.
2

Run
Press Start. Juno automatically mixes nanoscale reactions within the IFC to amplify DNA targets and barcode sample libraries.
3

Sequence
Targeted DNA sequencing libraries are collected from the IFC, and adapter PCR and cleanup are performed in a single tube reaction, followed by sequencing on an Illumina system.
Juno: Gene Expression Workflow
1

Transfer
Dispense purified cDNA from RNA or miRNAs, qPCR assays and master mix into designated inlets on the IFC before placing it onto the Juno loading tray.
2

Load
Press Start. Juno automatically loads the IFC with input sample, assays and reagents to prepare for thousands of nanoscale real-time PCR reactions.
3

Run\Read
Transfer the IFC with pre-mixed real-time PCR reactions to the Biomark HD for amplification and real-time quantitative detection.
Juno: SNP Genotyping Workflow
1

Transfer
Dispense the purified DNA, sample barcodes, SNP Type™ or probe-based assays and master mix into designated inlets on the IFC before placing it onto the Juno loading tray.
2

Run
Press Start. Juno automatically mixes nanoscale PCR reactions within the IFC and performs amplification using the integrated thermocycler. For compatibility with low sample inputs down to 5.5 ng, the option for a low-cycle-number preamplification exists. This option is fully integrated and automated on the IFC.
3

Read
Transfer the IFC with completed SNP reactions to the Biomark HD or EP1™ for endpoint genotyping analysis.
