  • illumina primer/adaptor concentrations

    Hi all,

    I want to switch from illumina supplied library prep kit to assembling my own. I've been seeing helpful threads about primer/adapter sequences, but cannot find any information about their concentrations.

    I am specifically interested in concentration of SE lib prep kits:
    PCR primers 1.1/2.1
    Adapter mix

    Does anyone know these concentrations provided in the kit (or point me to threads containing these information)?

    Thanks!

    The concentration in the adapter mix is 15 uM - you can find this info in the Cronn et al 2008 paper in NAR, although you can also work it out from the Illumina protocol: for DNA fragmented to an average size of ~500bp, 5 ug in 10ul gives a total of 15 picomoles; therefore for a 10:1 molar ratio, you must be putting in 150 picomoles of adapter (also in 10ul).

    For the PCR primer concentration, the thread "Excess PCR primers in final product " has posts indicating the stock PCR primers to be 25uM; these are used 1 in 50 in the enrichment PCR, i.e. at a final concentration of 500nM.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      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...
