    Looking for a standardized method of library quantification and quality control

    Hello all,

    I am wondering if anyone out there has discovered/created a standardized method for library quantification and quality control that works for them.

    The issue that I keep running up against is that, depending on the method used for library preparation, the values given by tapestation, qbit, qpcr and fragment analyzer can vary wildly. Sometimes, for well prepared libraries I will get good consensus between the instruments. But when I don't, it turns quantification into a completely heuristic process.

    I have observed the following trends:
    10x libraries are better quantified on tapestation than qubit,
    Amplicons and Nextera libraries don't seem to work well on tapestation OR qubit,

    fragment analyzer and qpcr are both time-expensive, and the tapestation is just expensive.

    With all that said, has anyone out there been able to completely standardize the process of QC and library quant for all library types? Thank you in advance.

    We have NextSeq500/550, I have tried many lib quantification methods (Qubit, NanoDrop, tapestation, Quantfluor and qPCR), the only one works to me is qPCR with kit from KAPA. I have run many libraries constructed with different commercial kits, lab-protocols as well, all work with good cluster density and quality.

      Something (Tape/BioA/FragA) for size estimation followed by KAPA qPCR for absolute quantification. That's the gold standard in my opinion. If it hasn't been qPCR'd we don't run it!

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        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

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        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
