Representative cDNA QC traces for Illumina Single Cell 3’ RNA Prep

cDNA peaks, distribution, and average fragment size can vary based on sample type and experimental condition(s).

The following TapeStation-generated traces serve as representative examples of satisfactory cDNA QC profiles generated during the Check QC Product step in the Illumina Single Cell 3’ RNA Prep workflow.
