  • Low cluster density of Truseq "high throughput" libraries - both DNA and RNA

    Hi genomics folks,

    Has anyone got any experience in clustering Illumina Truseq RNA 'HT' (high throughput) and Truseq DNA HT libraries?

    I work in an NGS service, and we recently tried out the new Truseq HT kits. I like the idea of multiplexing up to 96 Truseq libraries within a single lane.

    These libraries were quantified by qPCR following our normal protocol for Truseq libraries, using the KAPA library quant kit. They were then clustered using a cbot -> HiSeq or straight on to the MiSeq. The resulting cluster density was 1/4 to 1/2 of what we would expect, on both machines.

    These projects were unrelated and the library prep was performed by very experienced guys in the lab - I'm starting to wonder if the HT kits require different clustering conditions. According to Illumina, these libraries should cluster OK using the normal protocol.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
