What is the concentration of the amplification primers used in the post-enrichment PCR?

The concentration of our primers is 10uM for each primer. The final primer concentration is 0.5uM in post-capture PCR.

Is there a maximum amount of DNA I can put into the hybridization? Can I add more than 1500 ng of DNA?

We recommend a maximum input of 4 ug of DNA for hybridization. Adding more DNA may reduce the efficiency of the blockers which would result in higher off-target reads.
