Hello. I am using the Thermo Scientific™ MuSeek Library Preparation Kit for Ion Torrent™ and I have performed fragmentation, purification and adaptor+barcode ligation. Can I store the barcoded, amplified library in the fridge for a few days before performing the size selection? Or is there a better safe stopping point? Thanks

Not familiar with this kit, however, I would expect that a few days in the fridge will be fine. Is this suspended in TE, as this will also reduce dnase activity. -
Post ligation is ok to stop at. I'd recommend finishing up size selection then storing the library, but you'll be fine after the ligation step.Comment

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...Today, 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
