We have the same problem, as we don´t have the Illumina heater specified in the HT protocol, but perform the step in a regular PCR machine. Also because the specified deep well plates in our hands ( without automation) give more variable results than using PCR plates of the same material.
We will use the specified kits and stick to the protocol as close as possible, I think without such exceptions it will be hard to conduct the project.
Do we agree on the compromise ?
Best, Philip

Hi Mathias,
The high-throughput library prep doesn't require robots or automatics, you just need to process the samples on a 96-well plate and have a heat block, a shaker, a centrifuge and a PCR machine for that. Can you check again if following the HT protocol would not be possible?
best regards,
Tuuli

Dear Tuuli et al.
Unfortunately, we (Uppsala) can't follow the HT protocol right now since we have not automated all the steps yet. We are supposed to get a robot for library prep soon but it is not absolutely sure it will be in operation in time for these samples. We hope this is acceptable anyway otherwise we would have to wait until we have the robot up and running, which would delay everything even further. The kit will be the same though.
best regards
Mathias

Dear all,
I forgot to specify before that we should all use the high-throughput protocol in the library preparation - thanks Peter for pointing this out. No one has had any objections about the kit specified below, so we'll use that in the Geuvadis library preps.
best regards,
Tuuli
