So I have used the SMarter Low RNA Input Kit and after illumina sequencing with an NEB kit we found out that the sequencing pretty much failed. Although I've contacted the company regarding the results I have yet to receive any tech support. The following attachment shows the dscDNA output as measured with a High Sensitivity Kit. The pattern resembles their control outcome described in the manual. Any input would help me figure out where things went wrong.

Why don´t you try Smart-seq2+Nextera instead? It would be much cheaper...at least up to the pre-amplification step! Your RNA seems to be degraded, do you have a positive control ? You could do RNA extraction from bulk, take 1 ng and do 12-14 cycles PCR. You should get plenty of cDNA.

I've been using the SMARTER total RNA-seq kit to make libraries from nuclear RNA, ranging from 1-10ng. Honestly when I go under 1ng my libraries are not there. However, from 1-10 ng we have made over 100 libraries that look like the traces provided at the end of the clontech manual. We've probably tried upwards of 150... so you can do the math and see the throughput. We've sequenced it already and are working on the analysis of the data, and from our end everything about the kit looks as advertised. would be happy to answer any more questions in depth if youre still doing this stuff

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...-

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...-
