  • (2x) Final Bead Clean-Up

    Hello,

    I have a general question regarding NGS library prep protocols; many of the protocols suggest using TWO rounds of bead clean-up at the end of the protocol. I am curious as to why TWO (2) rounds of clean-up. Shouldn't one "proper" iteration (round) be enough? Or are the companies worried about primer dimers so much that they are trying to CTAs and suggest two rounds?

    Thanks-in-advance...

    I have seen many PCR Free protocols recommend two cleanups to be sure to get rid of any unincorporated adapters which are hard to detect and known to cause index hopping.

    This could also be needed after PCR for protocols that use PCR primers that include index sequences.

      Yep, bead cleanups will never be perfect. You can only enrich for molecules of the desired size range.
      Many protocols suggest two rounds of bead cleanups likey to safeguard for less than optimal experiments that created too many adapter dimers.

        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...
