In the dynamic landscape of next-generation sequencing (NGS), quality control (QC) is critical in ensuring the reliability and accuracy of genomic data provided to researchers seeking core lab support. With the exponential growth of genomic research and the choice of different electrophoresis instruments for sample and library QC, how can core labs ensure they have the most robust method in place? Current gel electrophoresis methods are limiting in terms of convenience, cost and analytical insight. This warrants an advanced solution to improve NGS quality control standards while saving resources and increasing data quality.

Join us for this insightful webinar as we review:

  • Challenges and limitations of size and contamination analysis in NGS workflow QC
  • How to incorporate advanced capillary electrophoresis into NGS workflows
  • Benefits for the core

A live Q&A will follow the webinar.
