DNA/RNA quality is essential for a successful Nanopore sequencing experiment.

It is important to check the input DNA/RNA for quality before beginning library preparation.

Low molecular weight, incorrectly quantified, and/or contaminated input samples can have a significant impact on the sequencing performance.

For more information, please refer to:

• Input DNA/RNA QC protocol.
• Contaminants information page.
• Extraction protocols section on the Nanopore Community.
