Hi~we are new users to the HiSeq and MiSeq. We are getting VERY low cluster densities after quantifying by BioA, Qubit, and qPCR. We have been told to check the pH of the NaOH we use to dilute our samples in. Has anyone had problems with this?

We've heard of reports of problems with NaOH shipped on dry ice. If the vial isn't completely sealed the NaHO reacts with the CO2 and the pH goes down. This can result in reduced efficiency and a shift in GC bias. I know some sequencing centres are making up their own NaOH stocks rather than using the stuff which ships with the kits. I have to say it's not a problem we've seen ourselves but if you are having problems then it's an easy and safe thing to change.

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
