LabChip GX - daisy chains?

07-27-2016, 01:36 AM

Hi,
We are happy using a LabChip GX for our NGS work - both QC of gDNA and of libraries.
But we have an issue with daisy-chains in NGS libraries which seem to be related to the GX and not the sample as the daisy-chains are not observed when the samples are analysed on a Bioanalyzer, TapeStation and Fragment Analyzer.
Furthermore the daisy-chains are observed randomly when repeating the GX analysis with a new dilution from the NGS library stock.
I have attached a GX image of three samples with variable amount of daisy-chains.
Perkin-Elmer are working with us to investigate the issue, but I would be happy to hear from other GX users who have experienced the same.
Cheers,
/Jakob

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival

by SEQadmin2

Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by GATTACAT

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.
