Q
Can the library of STOmics Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Set be pooled with other libraries for sequencing?
A
No, Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Set library requires different sequencing protocols and sequencing reagents compared to other libraries.
Q
Which sequencing platform is applicable to Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Set library?
A
Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Set library can be sequenced on DNBSEQ-G400RS, MGISEQ-2000RS and DNBSEQ-T7RS platforms.
Q
Can samples of different tissue types be analyzed on the same Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Chip T?
A
No, samples of different tissue types need to be tested for different permeabilization conditions. In addition, different samples should not be processed on the same chip to prevent cross-contamination.
Q
Can I use used chips to practice tissue section placement?
A
It can be used for practice.
Q
Are the spatial barcodes of each capture area on the Stereo-seq Chip T different?
Q
For Stereo-seq Transcriptomics experiments with fresh frozen samples, is it recommended to do multiple replicates?
A
It is recommended to determine whether it needs to be repeated according to the purpose of the experiment.
Q
How long does the Stereo-seq experiment take?
A
The workflow of Stereo-seq Permeabilization Set takes around 4h; the workflow of
Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Set takes around 9h; the workflow of STOmics Library Preparation kit takes around 5h.
Q
What is the shelf life of the reagents?
A
Please refer to the kit label.
Q
Which type of samples are currently suitable for Stereo-seq Transcriptomics Set?
A
The set is applicable to all common animal samples.
Q
What should be paid attention to during tissue embedding?
A
The tissue size should be no more than 0.9 cm x 0.9 cm x 2cm, and appropriate cryomold or stainless- steel based mold should be chosen based on the tissue size. To avoid RNA degradation, tissue embedding should be finished within 30 min after tissue harvest. Excess liquid on the tissue should be removed to avoid ice formation during embedding. Air bubbles should be avoided when filling the OCT in the Cryomold or stainless-steel.
