Bioanalyzer results for fragmented total RNA are continuously coming up with mean peak around 105-110nt. As a result, I suspect, I'm loosing the vast majority of the material during size selection with AMpure beads, so when reaching the library analysis I'm ending up with zero results! I'm following SOLID 4 total RNA protocol. For fragmentation I'm starting with minimal amount of rRNA depleted total RNA of at list 200ng and using RNAse III 10min for the fragmentation. Here you can see my results before and after fragmentation procedure. What I'm doing wrong? Is it possible that the initial amount of RNA is too low?

I've never run the SOLID protocol, but for our Illumina protocols we use the NEB Next RNA fragmentation kit. It's a chemical rather than an enzymatic fragmentation. We end up with average sizes around 250 bases (customizable based on fragmentation time). We also input 200ng of rRNA depleted RNA as our starting material. Good luck

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...-
