In this 30-minute Micro-Webinar, Dr. Maurice Chan presents data from the recent study “Deciphering the Impact of Contaminating Microflora in DNA Extraction Reagents on mNGS Workflows”. Join the discussion on:

• Levels of contamination comparisons in four common brands of microbial extraction reagents.
• The importance of manufacturers providing lot-specific data to ensure accurate mNGS results.
• How random environmental contamination events, indicating the significant role of environmental factors in mNGS.

Then Dr. Chan shows how to mitigate host, reagent and environmental contamination with the PaRTI-Seq assay and PaRTI-Cular bioinformatics pipeline.
