Library Validation QC 5.1.2
Overview
The Library Validation QC protocol contains steps to track quality control data from commonly used QC instruments. Through data integrations, QC data can be added to Clarity LIMS directly from the instrument outputs.
Highlights of this protocol include:
Data integrations for Bioanalyzer 2100 and Tapestation 2200, including creation of the input file and parsing of data output.
Possible integrations with qPCR instruments: TaqMan 7900 or ViiA7.
Assignment of pass/fail QC based on chosen criteria.
Aggregation of data from multiple QC steps.
