    This chapter describes a standard Access Array™ procedure for the analysis of PCR products harvested from an LP 48.48 IFC. The quality of the PCR products prepared on an LP 48.48 IFC (or a Access Array 48.48 IFC) is critical for successful amplicon sequencing. Any contamination of primers or primer dimers in the PCR products will be directly reflected in the quality of sequencing reads.
