    Agilent Haloplex DNA Ligase test

    We bought this kit for DNAseq from Agilent (Haloplex Target Enrichment System) to use in Illumina Miseq. Right now, we have DNA Ligase (that came with the kit), for 5 reaction (samples preparation). If we had another tube of DNA Ligase, we would be able to raise up to 36 reactions, since we still have the other reagents sufficient for 36 reactions...

    I saw on Agilent's website that they sell two different types of DNA Ligase: The PFU DNA Ligase and the T4 DNA Ligase.

    I would like to know if somebody already tried to use one of these DNA Ligase in the kit to verify if works?

    Thanks in advance...

    You could make a pretty good guess based on the reaction temperature where the ligase is used. Pfu ligase is from a thermophile, so if the temperature is high, Pfu, low, T4. I'd probably guess offhand that it's T4. The next question is whether it's a special high concentration enzyme and/or special buffer with crowding reagents to increase reaction efficiency.

      Hmm...I see. Actually, that's something we've been thinking. If there is something inside the kit ligase besides the ligase, that doesn't have in the other two sold by them.

        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
        by SEQadmin2


        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...
