Getting consistent sequencing results from low input and degraded samples

26 May 2026

This resource explores how real‑time PCR with automated normalization enables consistent sequencing performance across challenging sample types, including FFPE-derived DNA and RNA, cell‑free DNA, and single‑cell inputs. Explore how by using the icon96™ platform with AutoNorm™, workflows can dynamically adjust amplification in real time, reducing overcycling, improving reproducibility, and enabling mixed-input samples to be processed in a single run.

n6 Tec., Inc

Stop gambling on cycle numbers. The icon96 uses iconPCR™ technology with AutoNorm™ software to provide real-time fluorescence feedback in each of 96 independent wells, preventing under-amplification dropouts and over-amplification artifacts—delivering balanced, sequencing-ready libraries without manual quantification or normalization.

Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
