Say goodbye to tedious clinical WGS prep and unpredictable outcomes.
Why choose Callisto:
With Callisto, every run delivers the same high-quality libraries—regardless of operator skill level—thanks to pre-validated workflows, precision liquid handling, and tightly controlled processing conditions. This unmatched consistency means fewer repeats, cleaner data, and greater confidence in every result.
Consistently Superior Results
Callisto delivers highly uniform fragment sizes, and cleaner libraries for every batch. Designed to meet the rigid standards of clinical‑grade sequencing.
Fast Setup, Minimal Oversight
Achieve full setup in just 30 minutes, with 3 hours of hands-free runtime—allowing your team to focus on higher-value tasks without sacrificing throughput.
Turnkey and Ready on Day One
Pre-loaded and pre-validated WGS workflows let you start sample preparation immediately—no method development, optimization, or costly trial-and-error. Callisto gets you from first run to production faster, accelerating your path to high-quality data and results. Focus on discoveries, not delays.
Effortless Operation with No Expertise Needed
A clean, intuitive interface and guided workflow mean even users with minimal lab experience can run complex WGS preparations. Push-button simplicity—load your samples, select your app, and walk away.
BROAD NGS COMPATIBILITY
Callisto also offers broad NGS compatibility for both long- and short-read sequencing—making it ideal for expanding your test menu without costly new equipment and method development investments.
TRUSTED BY LEADERS IN GENOMICS
Callisto's walk-away automation, powered by advanced digital fluidics, is truly a game-changer. It allows our clinical technicians to simply load 24 DNA samples and produce clinical-grade sequencing-ready libraries seamlessly in <3 hours.”
