=== QUALITY CONTROL ===
All NGS libraries are quality controlled prior to use. The BioMicro Center offers two 'flavors' of quality control for Illumina libraries.<BR><BR>
Standard quality control includes analysis on the [[BioMicroCenter:QC#AATI_FRAGMENT_ANALYZER|Fragment Analyzer]] and quantification by four point [[BioMicroCenter:RTPCR|qPCR]] quantification for each sample. This confirms both the sizing as well as the presence of Illumina adapters on the libraries.<BR><BR>
Rapid Quality Control is less expensive and quicker. It includes analysis on the [[BioMicroCenter:QC#AATI_FRAGMENT_ANALYZER|Fragment Analyzer]] and quantification by PicoGreen on the [[BioMicroCenter:Varioskan|Varioskan]] for each sample. Final pools are quantified by [[BioMicroCenter:RTPCR|qPCR]] before loading. While this method is significantly faster and less expensive, we cannot guarantee pool balance with it.
