For optimum results we require at least 100 ng double-stranded, purified, high-molecular-weight, RNA-free DNA (concentration ≥ 1 ng/µL; OD 260/280 ≥ 1.8; OD 260/230 ≥ 2.0). For DNA from FFPE samples we need at least 200 ng of DNA.

Contamination by DNA from other species (> 3%; especially from closely related species) might interfere with the enrichment of the human DNA and also reduces the total amount of human DNA in the provided sample. Whole-genome amplified (WGA) DNA or DNA from archived tissue, such as Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) samples, is usually accepted. Please contact us if you need any details.
