The problem has been solved, thanks a lot!

They are probably fine, but if you don't want to take a chance, you could phone Illumina tech support and ask them. They might be willing to replace the primers.

I would simply test a few primers with index-PCR, and run on BA side by side.Comment

they are quite robust, I have been freezing and thawing them probably 10 times or more and they were still fine. Unless you are using 50 ng of input DNA for your Nextera library prep, you have a huge excess of index primers anyway, so if part of them went bad, you are still safe.
We use the Nextera XT kit, start from <500 pg for tagmentation and dilute the primers 1:5 to ame them last longer. And, even then, if we don´t do a bead clean up afterwards, we still see a huge peak of unused adaptors in the prep.Comment

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 -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
