We have successfully reduced the volumes of the reagents of the Illumina DNA prep kit to 1/4. We want to further reduce the cost. Is there any way to dilute the reagent (especially BLT beads since the reagent has the lowest volume) instead of further reducing the volumes?

It can be done and dilution factor depends on the quantity of input DNA (if using purified DNA) for up to 3 ng input BLT can be safely diluted 40x. Add water to make up for reduced BLT volume. There is also a preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/bior...79215.full.pdf

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...-

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...-
