Input DNA
How to QC your input DNA
It is important to use a plate reader to ensure the input DNA meets the quantity and quality requirements. Using too little or too much DNA, or DNA of poor quality (e.g. highly fragmented or containing RNA or chemical contaminants) can affect your library preparation.
For instructions on how to perform quality control of your DNA sample, please read the Input DNA/RNA QC protocol.
-
Input file worklist
A worklist input Excel file is required prior to running the protocol on the Hamilton NGS STAR 96. These contain information regarding the appropriate number of samples and well identifiers.
Example:
Source_SampleID
Source_Well
Target_Well
Sample_01 A1 A1 Sample_02 B1 B2 Sample_03 C1 C1 -
Hamilton NGS STAR 96
This method has been tested and validated using the Hamilton NGS STAR 96 (with 8 channels and MPH96) including an on deck thermal cycler (ODTC). An option to not use the ODTC is available in the method. The protocol may require some fine tuning for the NGS STAR 96 setup and the temperature/humidity of the customer laboratory.
Please contact your Hamilton representative for further details.
