Does anyone know the composition of the Tagment Wash Buffer in the Nextera DNA Flex Library Prep (20018704) protocol? Does it contain alcohol? PEG?

I would check out the SMART-SEQ2 protocol. They did homebrew something similar. I vaguely remember SDS to denature the enzyme. -
Hi BexMultiplex,
According to the Nextera Flex patent, TWB is:
-100 mM Tris HCl pH 8.5
-100 mM NaCL
-0.1% Tween 20
We have a Tecan, and are going to be reducing RXN volumes down to 1/4, and at that point TWB becomes a limiting reagent. I will be trying my own eventually, but I have not used it yet personally myself, so i can't promise it will work
If you are ever trying to find what a reagent is, looking at the patent (if you can find it) is probably the best way to get this kind of information. It also really helpful for understanding how a kit work when the protocol is vague.
Hope this helps!Comment

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
