We have successfully reduced the volumes of the reagents of the Illumina DNA prep kit to 1/4. We want to further reduce the cost. Is there any way to dilute the reagent (especially BLT beads since the reagent has the lowest volume) instead of further reducing the volumes?

It can be done and dilution factor depends on the quantity of input DNA (if using purified DNA) for up to 3 ng input BLT can be safely diluted 40x. Add water to make up for reduced BLT volume. There is also a preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/bior...79215.full.pdf -
Hi, would it be possible to know how? is it accessible.Originally posted by szy0931 View Post

It is described in detail in the Hackflex paper.

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...
