  • Help with denaturing low concentration Illumina PE Library

    Hi all
    I have an Illumina PE library that is of very low concentration (~1.5nM). If I speedvac I should be able to get 2nM to do the denaturation, but I'll have to do it in 10µL rather than the stated 20µL as I don't have the volume. Has anyone done this before?
    Thanks

    Add 13.3 ul of your 1.5nM library to 4.6 ul of EB buffer (10mM Tris)
    Add 1 ul 2N NaOH and incubate 5 minutes
    Add 1 ul 2N HCL to neutralize your NaOH
    You've now got 20 ul of a 1000pM ssDNA library.
    Dilute to your favorite loading concentration with chilled hyb buffer.

    Using this method I have successfully loaded libraries as low as to 193pM.

      I can vouch for that method too... I've successfully sequenced libraries the same way. I think there's another thread on the topic here somwhere.

      GW_OK: Out of interest, how do you assess that your low-concentration libraries have been successfully prepared (other than sequencing)? Do you use real-time PCR?

      Scott.

        qPCR with the Kapa kit. It's the only way to go in my opinion. (Well, at least the qPCR part. You can pick your own reagents.)

          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...
