I am preparing RNA libraries using the TruSeq Total RNA kit from Illumina and I am trying to use NextFlex adapters in lieu of the truseq ones. I am stuck on the correct concentration to use and Illumina tells me the molarity of their adapters is proprietary. Does anyone know the correct concentration of their adapters, I don't have any on hand to test.

Check the concentration of the Nextflex RNA-seq adapters on their web page; I have not memorized it but it will work. -
Thanks Luc, I know the concentration of the nextflex adapters and I know they will work. I am looking for the concentration of the illumina adaptersComment

Nextflex adapters are available for DNA applications and for RNA-seq applications. The latter are merely dilutions of the former, but Bioo provides the concentration info somewhere.
If you have the diluted Nextflex adapters (for RNA-seq) use the same adapter volume as in the TruSeq RNA kit.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
