discrepancy between qubit and bioanalyzer results
When I do the QC for my bead cleaned-up pre-amplified cDNA (Smartseq2) using AATI fragment analyzer and bioanalyzer, the concentration was very low (0.01ng/uL) and almost no peaks. But when I measured the same samples using Qubit, I got about 0.1ng/uL. Why are these methods giving different concentrations? Thanks!

The FA/BA is probably a more accurate measurement (although I trust qubit more for concentrations >1ng/ul). It's easy to get background readings of 0.1-0.3ng/ul by qubit. Did you run a negative control for comparison? -
OK, I see. I will include a negative control to see how it goes. Thank you for your reply.Originally posted by cmbetts View PostComment

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
