Next Generation Sample Preparation Guidelines

The following guidelines are designed to give you a basic idea of how to prepare your samples prior to sending us your next generation project. By following these guidelines, you will help us produce the best possible quantity and quality of data for you. However, not every application can be covered here and each project is different so, please contact us for your free project-specific criteria.

Fragment Library-based Projects:

  • DNA must be double-stranded
  • Fragments must be > 70 bp
  • If fragments are 800bp or longer, we require a minimum of 10µg of DNA
  • For fragments less than 800bp, we require a minimum of 2µg of DNA
  • DNA should have an OD260/280 ratio of 1.8 or more
  • DNA concentration should be a minimum of 50ng/ µl in TE buffer
  • DNA should not be degraded, nor should it contain any particulate matter

Paired-end Library-based Projects:

  • DNA must be double-stranded
  • Input DNA should be >10kb
  • Minimum of 10µg of DNA is required
  • DNA should have an OD260/280 ratio of 1.8 or more
  • DNA concentration should be a minimum of 50ng/ µl in TE buffer
  • DNA should not be degraded, nor should it contain any particulate matter

Amplicon Library-based Projects: :

  • DNA must be double-stranded
  • Input DNA should be < 800bp long
  • Minimum of 500ng of DNA is required
  • DNA should have an OD260/280 ratio of 1.8 or more
  • DNA concentration should be a minimum of 50ng/ µl in TE buffer
  • DNA should not be degraded, nor should it contain any particulate matter
