Can I use less starting input than what my protocol recommends?
Can I use less starting input than what my protocol recommends?
We recommend always following the guidance in our protocols for the correct practice when using our products.
Starting with lower inputs will result in lower library yields, pore occupancy and data generation.
Please note, for application specific protocols input requirements might differ from the general kit protocols.
