Library quantification

lqk250 white

Accurate quantification of the number of amplifiable molecules in a fragmented library is critical to the outcome of sequencing results on next-generation sequencing platforms. Over and underestimation of library concentration result in suboptimal sequencing capacity. qPCR is widely regarded as the gold standard for accurate quantification of DNA libraries as it is the only technique capable of measuring the number of amplifiable molecules.

Accurate qPCR-based library quantification ultimately depends on three factors:

  • the accuracy and reproducibility of the standards used
  • the ability of the DNA polymerase used in the qPCR to amplify all adaptor-flanked molecules with equal efficiency
  • accurate and reproducible liquid handling

KAPA Library Quantification Kits are rigorously tested to ensure minimal lot-to-lot variation. In addition, KAPA SYBR® FAST qPCR Kits are designed for high performance, high-throughput, real-time PCR.
