TapeStation Analysis in the Agilent SureSelect and HaloPlex
Workflow
The TapeStation system has been verified for use within the Agilent
SureSelect and HaloPlex protocols.
• During the purification step however, residual AMPure XP beads can result
in a signal which runs with the upper marker peak.
• Any additional signal under the upper marker peak causes a lower
reported value of sample concentration.
• This artifact can be avoided by increasing the time for which the samples
are incubated on the magnetic plate to 10 minutes, thereby removing a
higher percentage of the beads.
