RNA Initial QC 5.1.2
Overview
The initial RNA 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, Nanodrop 8000, CaliperGX, and Tapestation 2200, including creation of the input file and parsing of data output.
Assignment of pass/fail QC based on chosen criteria.
Aggregation of data from multiple QC steps.
