NEB SEMINAR

Expert seminar on qPCR and NGS sample preparation

9:15 – 10:30 qPCR: Generating Reliable, Publication-Ready Data*

PCR is a powerful method, but reliable results depend on well-designed assays, high-quality samples, appropriate controls, and careful data interpretation. This session gives practical advice on how to reduce variation, avoid common pitfalls, and generate robust data suitable for publication.

10:30 – 10:45 Break

An opportunity to network, exchange experiences, and discuss workflow challenges.

10:45 – 12:00 High-Quality Sample Preparation for Next Generation Sequencing*

Successful NGS starts with sample preparation. This session focuses on how to save time and costs, reduce bias, and improve reproducibility by making the right choices early in the workflow. You will learn how

sample quality and preparation strategy directly affect downstream sequencing results and publication readiness.

*You may join both lectures or either of them.
