*Add 11 ul to each well of a hard shell, full skirt plate. Seal with bubble strips and store in refrigerator until needed label “NovaSeq4 PCR”. (If doing manually, one needs 2 ul of template and 2 ul of the primers).

MagBead Cleanup:

Some plates were cleaned up using the Nimbus platform protocol “AxyPrep MagBead PCR1 No MM”

Manually, it was done:

Equilibrate Beads to room Temperature
Add 24 ul of MagBeads to each well and 15 ul of replicate to same well of replicate
Pipette mix up and down 10 times.
Incubate at RT for 5 minutes
Secure plate on magnet plate; incubate at RT for 5 minutes (until wells are clear)
Remove 65 ul from each well; keep tips to left or right depending on the column to avoid bead pellet.
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well
Add 100 ul Fresh 80% EtOH to each well. Incubate 30 seconds. Remove 100 ul from each well
Reaspirate from each well to assure maximum EtOH removal
Allow plate to air dry for 7 minutes.
Remove sample plate from magnet plate.
Add 40 ul TE; pipette mix 10+ times. Incubate 2 minutes at RT.
Place sample plate back on magnet for 5 minutes or until all wells are cleared.
Transfer 40 ul to labeled transparent plate (Plate name_PCR_MIDs)

qPCR NovaSeq5_Plate1

Make 1:1000 dilutions of column 3 from the PCR plates by adding 1 ul to 999 ul TE in a deep well plate:

Pooling and Shipping:

The client, Chris MacGlover, is concerned about the nasal swabs not sequencing as occurred with his last attempt. We will send 3 nasal, one excontrol, and one other sample to be fragment analyzed at CU:

5CM1 A4 (18-143N), 5CM1 H12 (SB33N), 5CM2 A4 ( 18-143T), 5CM3 H12 (51N), and 5CM1 A3 (excontrol)

Fragment Analysis returned from the Genomics Core lead us to allow sequencing to proceed.
