Avoiding DNA Adsorption to Tube Walls in NGS Sample Preparation

In this Tech Note

Low Binding Microplates Ensure Reaction Specificity and Consistency

Subtle differences can make a big difference when it comes to highly sensitive assays with low DNA input. For instance, if DNA binds to the polypropylene tube or plate, this loss of critical material during transfer steps can significantly impact the assay’s success. Low binding plastics from Azenta Life Sciences offer advantages not only for sensitive techniques such as next generation sequencing (NGS), but also for sample storage and use in forensic applications.

Here, we evaluate polypropylene 96 well PCR plates used in a qPCR assay; comparing DNA binding potential across different vendors as well as at various incubation temperatures.
