Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Agilent Genomics.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Agilent TapeStation or Bioanalyzer system fails to power on, verify the power cord is securely connected to both the instrument and a grounded outlet, and check that the fuse on the rear panel is intact. Replace the fuse if blown (use only the specified rating).
For inconsistent sample quality on the 2100 Bioanalyzer, ensure the electrode cartridge is clean and free of debris. Run the electrode cleaning chip with 350 µL of deionized water for 1 minute, then dry with a lint-free wipe. Repeat if necessary.
When the SureSelect library prep yields low coverage, check that the DNA input quantity and quality meet the protocol requirements (e.g., 10–200 ng of high-quality DNA with A260/A280 ~1.8–2.0). Also, verify that the hybridization and capture temperatures are accurate and that the blocking oligos are properly added.
If the QPCR instrument (e.g., AriaMx) shows erratic amplification curves, calibrate the optical system and ensure the plate is properly seated. Also, check that the ROX passive reference dye is included if required by your master mix.
For Agilent NGS workflow issues such as adapter dimers, perform a post-ligation cleanup using AMPure XP beads at a 1.8x ratio to remove excess adapters. Validate the library size on the TapeStation before sequencing.
