    Maximum # of copies in a cluster?

    Hi all,

    I am just wondering why the # of DNA copies in each cluster is capped between 1000-2000.

    Is this just due to the size of the well? I'm guessing that all fixed oligos in a well are extended during bridge amplification.

    Or does the sequencing process fail w/ too many copies?

    Thanks.

    Only Illumina knows. I am guessing the isothermal clustering for the X10 and the HS4K is mostly limited by the real estate (and resulting steric problems for the bridged molecules?) and the number of flowcell oligos per nanowell.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
