Illumina Experts: Preventing Contamination

Many next-generation sequencing applications use the Polymerase Chain Reaction, or PCR amplification, for DNA amplification. Our field scientists, Imani Bethel and Tim Gilmartin, will talk through best practices to minimize the potential for PCR contamination in your experiment. You will learn:
- Common sources of contamination
- optimal lab design and set-up,
- proper pipetting technique,
- best ways to use no template control (NTC)

I would also recommend using laminar flow hood with UV and face mask, these are measures of the utmost importance.

Great! I did not know some tips until now. Thank you very much! :)

How can I equip my lab in jordan ministry of health with next generation sequencing ( from your products)to avoid contamination???

[@alexchan1599]

They keep talking when they do those lab procedures, that's the greatest source of the contamination!

UAMS hooah!
