    low bead return from E120

    Hello All, our last E120 only produced 700M beads (and not the expected ~2.2B). All of our templates looked good throughout the library process and we used qPCR to quantify before pooling for the emulsifier stage.

    We have seen a low bead return before but that was when we tried to use the qubit concentrations for the final quantification so the low return was probably as a result of low template input.

    Has anyone seen a low bead output that related to something other than low template input?

    problem solved, the qPCR machine was knackered

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
