    UltraClean PCR purification kits

    We are having continuing issues with background bacterial sequence contamination in our MiSeq sequencing data that we think we have tracked to the min-elute columns we use to purify and concentrate our dsDNA products prior to library prep. We wanted to try a Mo Bio UltraClean PCR clean-up product - Qiagen now has Mo Bio product but only supplies the PCR clean-up in a 96-well format and we need individual columns.
    Does anyone know of an alternative source or substitution for these "clean" purification columns?
    Thanks!

    PCR cleanup should be comparatively "easy" and all the usual manufacturers should have good options.
    Qiagen QIAquick PCR or Zymo DNA clean would be some we have used.

      How about using bead-based cleanup and just skipping the columns entirely? I have heard of people having trouble with contamination of their PCR-grade water when they have samples with very low levels of template DNA.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        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, detection...

        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
