  • Library quantification for pooling question

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone had any success with accurately quantifying libraries for pooling other than using the Qubit? I was wanting to make the process alot more high-throughput. Has anyone successfully used the Agilent Tapestion for this?

    Thanks

    Our facility (VCGSL at UC Berkeley) uses the Kapa qPCR kit, and we tend to get really even distributions.

      our Quant

      We use a homebrew that is essentially the Kapa kit but using PhiX as the standard for the standard curve.

      We found the Kapa kit to be cost prohibitive but are looking into the new Qiagen Quant kit now

        Hey kwaraska, our facility also is currently using Kapa for library quantification and while it works great I would very much like to move toward a less expensive alternative. Are there any special tricks to using PhiX as a standard? Would you mind sending me your protocols? Thanks.

          I can send you our "by hand" protocol.

          The robotic one isn't as easy to translate into "by hand"

          If you give me an email address I'd be happy to share

              Kapa qPCR kit is good. But I usually qualify each lane's samples by Qubit then pool together then run Qpcr
              it save some time and works fine.

                Pooling prior to qPCR is fine if you aren't super interested in exact pooling. Most of our customers would prefer to pay a bit extra for additional qPCR rather than take a chance on getting only 10% of one sample when they expect 25%. It is cheaper to pool after qPCR than run another whole lane of sequencing to get more data

                  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...
