The NGS-4-Ecoprod project participated in a hands-on workshop on the Agilent Tapestation 4150 Automated Electrophoresis System, organized by Précision Électronique at the Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax (CBS).

The workshop aimed to familiarize researchers and technical staff with advanced automated electrophoresis techniques, a critical tool for high-quality nucleic acid analysis and metagenomics applications within the project.

Participants included three members from each laboratory, notably the four WP1 task leaders and their technical staff, ensuring that each work package benefited directly from practical training on sample preparation, system operation, and data interpretation.

This hands-on training strengthened the technical capacities of both researchers and laboratory personnel, supporting the accurate and efficient generation of sequencing-ready samples, which is essential for advancing the NGS-4-Ecoprod project objectives in eco-innovative bioproducts.
