FAQs

  • Each BRB-seq kit contains reagents (including four pairs of Unique Dual Indexing adapters) sufficient for the complete library preparation process for four different BRB-seq pools.

    To note, the total number of RNA samples that can be processed with one kit does not exceed the kit specifications; for instance, a 96-samples kit can be used to prepare up-to 96 samples distributed across up-to four different libraries.

  • The recommended range of input material is in the range of 5’000-50’000 cells.
  • The only difference between DRUG-seq and standard RNA-seq data analysis is the demultiplexing step, which is used to assign sequencing reads to their sample of origin based on the DRUG-seq barcode sequence.

    For a thorough description of DRUG-seq data processing, please refer to the DRUG-seq kit user guide. 

  • The barcode set for your kit is conveniently located on the kit label. Please refer to the label for accurate identification.

    For optimal compatibility, ensure that you use the appropriate plate format (e.g., for kits designed for 96 reactions, the 96 well-plate format should be used). This ensures accurate and efficient processing of your samples. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact our support team for assistance by email or using our live chat tool.
