  • Methods, Systems and Compositions Thereof for Nucleic Acid Library Quality Control and Quantification
    Publication number: 20210180048
    Abstract: Methods, systems, kits and compositions are described for quality control and quantitation of nucleic acid libraries of double stranded nucleic acid libraries prior to massively parallel sequencing. Electrophoretic separation within a channel using a detectably labeled single stranded sizing ladder may be used to define the molecular weight range and amount of the double stranded nucleic acids.
