Next Gen Diagnostics (NGD) is set to showcase its innovative NGD System at the upcoming ID Week 2025 in Atlanta. This system aims to revolutionize infection prevention in hospitals by providing a low-cost, automated whole-genome sequencing (WGS) based transmission detection service. The NGD200 system integrates robotic sample preparation, sequencing, bioinformatics, and HIPAA-compliant root cause determination into a streamlined workflow, significantly reducing manual intervention and costs. This system can process up to 48 samples at once and generate actionable reports overnight, helping hospitals prevent infection transmission more effectively. NGD operates from a laboratory in Cambridge, MA, with additional offices in Boston and Cambridge, UK.
