Have anyone her tries the NEB small RNA library prep kit?
How is the result compared to the Illumina TruSeq?

Generally both gives similar results down to 2ng miRNA input (fraction of miRNA in total RNA) with a similar workflow but NEB kit costs less. -
Bioo Scientific also offers a similar kit which uses adapters with randomized ends to reduce ligase bias. The issue of ligase bias is pretty well known in the small RNA library prep field, feel free to PM me for more information. I was hesitant to post here because I don't want it to look like a sales pitch, but I truly believe the use of randomized adapters is the way to go with small RNA library prep.

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
