Reducing costs and time of SARS-CoV-2 variant detection by incorporating normalization beads into an NGS workflow

Library normalization is one of the most important steps to ensure optimal clustering and data quality. It traditionally involves three steps: quantifying libraries with a Thermo Fisher® Scientific Qubit® fluorometer, sizing fragments with LabChip® GX Touch™ nucleic acid analyzer or similar, and diluting the libraries to an equimolar concentration.
