FFPE Samples for NGS: Challenges, Quality Control & Best Practices

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is widely used in cancer research and molecular oncology. Pathology archives provide valuable specimens for studying genetic alterations, but preparing these samples for next-generation sequencing (NGS) presents unique challenges. The same formalin fixation process that preserves tissue morphology can also fragment and chemically modify DNA and RNA. These changes may affect […]

Nucleic Acid Extraction for PCR and NGS: Methods, Quality Control, and Best Practices

Nucleic acid extraction for PCR and NGS showing a laboratory pipette, sample tube, and automated purification equipment.

When a real-time PCR run produces unexpectedly high Ct values or an NGS library fails quality control, the problem may start before amplification or sequencing—with nucleic acid extraction. DNA and RNA extraction is a critical step in molecular workflows. Poor recovery, contamination, or inhibitor carryover can affect downstream results, even when assays and instruments perform […]

NGS vs. Real-Time PCR: Which Molecular Method Fits Your Lab?

NGS vs. real-time PCR comparison for molecular laboratory workflows

Real-time PCR and next-generation sequencing answer different molecular questions. Compare target coverage, throughput, workflow complexity, data analysis and other considerations when choosing an approach for your laboratory.
