Sample Tracking Control Set v1.0
Internal spike-in controls for sample tracking, carry-over assessment and workflow integrity.
Sequins (sequencing spike-ins) are synthetic nucleic acid controls that mirror naturally occurring sequences while remaining analytically distinguishable from the native sample. The mirrored Sequins design enables control-derived reads to be detected separately from sample-derived reads in the sequencing output, allowing the Sequins controls to be assessed without interfering with interpretation of sample data.
Building on this core Sequins technology, the Sample Tracking Control Set v1.0 provides an in-sample, sequencing-compatible molecular tracking system for 96-well plate-based workflows. Each sample is assigned to a planned well, spiked with a predefined well-specific combination of three Sequins molecules, processed through the workflow and assessed after sequencing. Together, the three Sequins molecules form a defined molecular signature that links each sample to its expected well position.
Workflow for using well-specific Sequins molecule combinations as in-sample molecular tracking controls. A predefined well-specific combination of three Sequins molecules creates a unique set of molecular signatures. These predefined combinations are added to each sample at a selected workflow stage, processed with the sample, and detected bioinformatically after sequencing to compare the observed Sequins signal with the planned plate layout.
