  • Maximum cluster density for a GA and Hiseq flowcell that still produces good result

    Just curious!? At what point does the number of clusters max out the ability of the machine to read it well (from first base report) - on both a HiSeq or GA flowcell? Thanks

    For the HiSeq, I have gotten great results when I aim for the 700,000 K/mm^2 cluster density off of the first base report (usually about 90-120 million reads pass filter). I have had some luck with shooting as high as 1,000,000 K/mm^2, but it's hit or miss and I wouldn't recommend it.

    For the GAIIx, I usually aim for 350,000 clusters/mm^2 off of the first base report and about 35-40 million reads pass filter.

    Hope this helps!

      About the GAIIx, I assume it is 350,000 clusters/tile?
      Out of curiosity, what concentration are you loading on the GAIIx?

      Best Regards.

        We typically load at 8pM, but this loading concentration may change depending on how multiplexed each lane is.

        Also, it is important to note that this "8pM" loading concentration may vary for each lab depending on the choice of QC methods.

          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...
