Bad efficiency
We've tried using this kit for enrichment of regions around 10-12kb. The efficiency for this was near zero. We downscaled it down to 3-7kb and are starting to get amplification efficiency around 30-50%.
For our purposes this kit is waste of money, especially because of i) the price, and ii) nonexistent customer support. We wrote several times to speak to people who actually KNOW how this kit works, but we got general answers about how to design primers.....
Well, the best option for us would be raindance, but who can afford this...

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...-
