discrepancy between qubit and bioanalyzer results
When I do the QC for my bead cleaned-up pre-amplified cDNA (Smartseq2) using AATI fragment analyzer and bioanalyzer, the concentration was very low (0.01ng/uL) and almost no peaks. But when I measured the same samples using Qubit, I got about 0.1ng/uL. Why are these methods giving different concentrations? Thanks!

The FA/BA is probably a more accurate measurement (although I trust qubit more for concentrations >1ng/ul). It's easy to get background readings of 0.1-0.3ng/ul by qubit. Did you run a negative control for comparison? -
OK, I see. I will include a negative control to see how it goes. Thank you for your reply.Originally posted by cmbetts View PostComment

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...
