    elution buffer Question

    hello
    I work with illumina (TruSeq) kits for RNA and DNA sample preparation.
    Unfortunately, I spilled the elution buffer (for RNA prep). I try to avoid ordering a complete kit. Maybe someone knows what buffer can replace it or maybe know another kit (cheaper) containing the elution buffer.
    Thanks

    You might be able to order just that elution buffer from illumina. We use Qiagen kits for lots of things and have ordered individual buffers on several occasions.

      In the US Illumina will generally replace a component if you accidentally spill it. Call Tech support and/or your sales rep for help.

        As pmiguel said, Illumina is generally very good about replacing reagents. If you're in a bind you can also just use Tris-HCl or even nuclease free water for the bead elution.

          Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
