# Representative library QC traces for Illumina Single Cell 3’ RNA Prep

**The final Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep library distribution and average fragment size may vary based on sample type and experimental condition(s)**.

The following TapeStation-generated traces serve as representative examples of satisfactory library QC profiles (from satisfactory [cDNA QC](/library-preparation/illumina-single-cell-rna-prep/library-preparation-illumina-single-cell-rna-prep-reference_material-list/000009524.md)) generated during the "Check Library" step of the Illumina Single Cell 3' RNA Prep workflow. For more information, see the appropriate reference guide.
