With the discontinue of the old PI IC kit, we have to switch to new Hi-Q chef kit. We had great success with the old PI IC kit, but facing dramatic drop in loading percentage and read quality with the new kit. Any one have experience with new Hi-Q chef kit?

We had a problem with an NEBNext Ion Torrent library but the Hi-Q worked fine with a library made using Ion Torrent reagents.
What library concentration are you using? We use 85 pM. -
I use 70ul @ 100pM for the old IC kit. For Hi-Q kit, I first followed the protocol with 25ul @ 50pM with only 49% loading. So I increased loading to 25ul @ 200pM, the result is still not good. Finally I tried 25ul @ 400pM, none of those conditions give me good yield. (45M/chip at the most for 400pM loading).Comment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
