Quality control in Illumina sequencing workflows using the TapeStation system

9 Mar 2023

In this application note, Agilent Technologies describes quality control (QC) steps in various Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows provided as a service by the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) Genomics and Proteomics Core Facility. The QC steps can be performed using the Agilent 4200 TapeStation system with the ScreenTape portfolio. Appropriate reference samples are included as positive controls to monitor the individual steps during library preparation. Representative QC data of these reference samples serve as positive examples for successful completion of critical steps of the most frequently used NGS library protocols.

Agilent Technologies

The 4150 TapeStation system is an economic, entry-level system which comes with data processing software, reagents, and ScreenTape devices for analysis of sample size, quantity, and integrity of 1 to 16 samples. Delivering highly accurate and precise analytical evaluation, the systems fit perfectly into next-generation sequencing (NGS) or biobank workflows for handling smaller numbers of samples.
