FAQ

I am unsure as to whether my already extracted DNA is of a high enough quality for Flex-Seq. If I submit my samples, and they are of suboptimal quality, will I be notified?

The QC of the submitted DNA prior to library preparation is part of the Flex-Seq service. However we recommend DNA be extracted using methods that yield higher quality DNA, such as column, bead based, or C-TAB extraction to minimise factors such as secondary compounds/metabolites, chemical carryover from extraction, or excessive degradation. We discourage use of "crude" DNA extractions.
