in Sequencing

You can calculate the maximum number of digitalMLPA samples that can be included in a single sequencing run using the calculator below.

Background

The calculator uses the formula below with a minimum desired read depth of 500.

MRC Holland only has a limited number of barcodes available (see the product description of the probemix for details about the barcode plates that are suitable for the probemix). In most situations the Illumina reagent kit capacity will be the limiting factor for the number of samples that can be combined in a single run. However, if you use a kit with a large capacity, the number of available barcodes may limit the number of samples that can be combined.

Note
The required read depth of 400 as mentioned in the digitalMLPA General Protocol is the absolute minimum. To avoid potential warnings for median total reads and read depth during analysis with Coffalyser digitalMLPA, it is recommended to use 500 as required minimum read depth. Determining the optimal value for your system may require some optimization.
