  • Nanodrop vs bioanalyzer for library quantification

    I'm getting lots of conflicting results when quantifying my libraries prior to cluster generation. Recently I've had lots of samples that exhibit the following after enrichment PCR:

    By eye, agarose gel shows nice bright band, correct size and intensity for a tenfold concentration.
    Nanodrop reads ~10ng/ul
    Bioanalyzer DNA1000 chip sees nothing at all, or .1-.2ng/ul
    Bioanalyzer high-sensitivity chip sees ~1-2ng/ul.

    I'm planning on running all these with a known standard to figure out who is closest, but recently I've read some no-so-good stuff about the bioanalyzer and it's ability to determine concentration. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Thanks!

    Nevermind.. I found a decent thread with exactly this info in it.

    Techniques and protocol discussions on sample preparation, library generation, methods and ideas

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      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...

      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...
