I've heard from some people that SPRI is not a great way to concentrate DNA products. I usually use 0.6x SPRI on 40-50 uL of PCR product and elute into 30-40uL of water. I am wondering if I could concentrate the product further by just using lower volume of water (or TE, or any elution buffer), like maybe 10uL. Anyone here has any experience doing that? A lot of protocols seem to suggest putting the elutted product on a column to concentrate, which I think kinda defeats the purpose of using SPRI...

I usually take a 50 ul PCR reaction and elute into 22.5 ul. Ten ul seems extreme - you may have problems pipetting up the liquid without beads. -
I elute 50 uL PCR products in 20 uL pretty regularly without any issues or loss in yield. When going below 20 uL, I start to see a drop in total recovery.Josh KinmanComment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
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...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
