  • Barcode contamination in nanopore

    We have used 24 barcodes in 1 flow cell for a 16s run using SQK-16S024.The flow cell has been washed. Now we want to run more samples for a 16s run using the same barcodes in the kit on the same flowcell. We have heard this causes cross contamination in the new run due to leftover previous template.
    Can somebody let me know the % of contamination expected from previous run?
    People have suggested to use different set of barcodes in nanopore as a solution to this, but practically this is not possible since we dont want to buy multiple barcode kits and many flowcells.
    Have somebody ever had this experience before?

    Based on Nanopore's own research, the WSH004 kit has less than 1% carry over: https://community.nanoporetech.com/p...ash-kit-exp-ws.

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      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...
