Register now to get practical NGS workflow strategies to boost sensitivity, consistency, and confidence!

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing can enable highly sensitive detection of low allele-fraction variants, but achieving reliable performance at low input requires careful control of library preparation and hybrid capture. PCR amplification is a key source of variability that can affect yield, coverage uniformity, and ultimately assay sensitivity and reproducibility.

In this SelectScience® webinar, held in partnership with n6 Tec, we will discuss practical strategies for optimizing cfDNA workflows and demonstrate how icon96 supports assay development and production by enabling sample-specific PCR conditions.

Attendees will learn how tailored amplification can improve consistency across precious samples, support balanced pooling, and strengthen confidence in downstream variant detection.

Key learning objectives:

• Identify key technical challenges in targeted sequencing from low-input cfDNA.
• Explain how PCR amplification during library preparation impacts sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility.
• Evaluate how sample-specific PCR optimization using iconPCR96 can improve workflow consistency in development and production.

Who should attend?

This webinar is ideal for genomics professionals, core lab managers, and translational researchers working with cfDNA sequencing for MRD detection, liquid biopsy workflows, or low-input targeted panels who need to optimize PCR amplification for improved assay performance and reproducibility.

As single-cell and multiomics technologies continue to reshape our understanding of complex biology, the importance of high-quality sample preparation has never been greater. Reliable quality control (QC) is essential to ensure that valuable samples - often limited and difficult to obtain - yield meaningful, reproducible data. However, researchers working with diverse sample types, such as frozen or FFPE tissue, often face significant QC challenges.

In this SelectScience webinar, experts from both academia and industry share applications and methods to achieve quality control in single-cell and nucleus workflows to ensure the success of downstream applications. This is a critical step for applications such as single-cell RNA sequencing and multiomics analysis.

Using the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter, speakers will discuss how to achieve accurate and reproducible samples and master quality control, even with challenging samples containing high debris levels or low yields and share data from a range of sample types including fresh, frozen, fixed and FFPE preparations. In addition, you’ll learn how advanced imaging and algorithm-based classification, like that offered with the LUNA-FX7 supports reliable assessments of nuclei and cell concentration as well as cell viability.

Key learning objectives:

• Explore real-lab applications in both academia and industry to improve sample quality in single-cell and nuclei workflows.
• Gain insights into accurate assessment of sample concentration and viability using the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter.
• Learn practical approaches for handling challenging samples such as fixed and FFPE preparations.

Who should attend?

• Students, graduate students, doctoral students, post-doc researchers
• Assistant professors, associate professors, professors
• Lab technicians, lab specialists, scientists, researchers, lab managers, lab supervisors, lab directors, principal investigators, principal/associate scientists
• QA/QC managers and supervisors
• Chief scientific officers (CSOs), VPs of research and development, or any decision-making role covering academia, government, and private sector businesses and industries.
