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

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
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
