    Rapid Library Expiration

    I have an undiluted rapid library that was prepared 4 months ago. Does anyone have experience with sequencing old(er) libraries?

    Thanks.

    I don't have direct experience with older libraries but if the library was free from nucleases there is no reason why it shouldn't work. I would run it on the bioanalyser and qubit beforehand to verify that it is intact.

      We have sequenced libraries almost 1 yr old without a problem. I was having a discussion about library stability with support this past few days. There is no official recommendation about how long an undiluted library can be stored for. The 10e07 molec/ul dilution is fine to up 2 months and shouldn´t be frozen-thawed more than once. However I believe there is variability from library to library, and also everything depends on how well it has been stored.
      If makes you feel safer, do like barkasn said and run an HS chip beforehand.

        Thanks for the input/suggestions. I'll check it out on the bioanalyzer and maybe re-measure the concentration.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          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

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          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
