  • NextSeq550_LowClusterDensity_Low%PF?

    A 1.8 pM diverse library was loaded on a high-output reagent kit on the NextSeq550 platform.

    I understand that an over-clustered run will result in poor signal purity and a low percentage of clusters passing filter (%PF).

    But what would cause a severely under-clustered run (~15 K/mm2) to result in a low %PF (60%)?

    I have checked the best focus images of this NextSeq550 run, and they definitely appear to be under-clustered, so the reported cluster density does not seem to be '...an underestimation of the true density due to saturation...'.

    Furthermore, other than potential issues with sodium hydroxide concentration, quantification, and the actual sequencing primer, what other causes could result in reduced cluster densities?

    A phix run had been run on the instrument and achieved optimal clustering thus ruling out any machine related issues.

    how did you quantify your libs for sequencing ? by my experience, only qPCR method works well for lib quantification. I use illumina lib quantification kit from KAPA.

      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...
