Overcoming challenges in FFPE DNA library prep
Posted on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 By Joanne Gibson, Ph.D.
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples hold invaluable genetic insights, yet library preparation is notoriously challenging. FFPE preservation processes damage DNA, resulting in low yields, non-uniform ends, and other issues. Our advanced enzymatic solutions tackle these challenges, enabling the full utilization of FFPE samples for genetic analysis.
