my pleasure. Can't wait to see the awesome study! 1600 samples is a pretty large task.

Again, depending on the study, be sure to include plenty of negative controls (no soil added, 5 per plate), and randomize samples and controls in the plates.

For this paper we initially collected a year of samples, but due to batch effects in the extractions, we had to exclude half of the data (the samples were extracted in 2 batches of 6 mo each). journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

My experience is a bit dated, but the qiagen 96 kits work pretty good, but they're pricey. Also, IDK what the study is, but if you intend on comparing the data from all samples to one another, be sure to buy the kits all at once, ideally from the same batch.

I'm loving the live feeds! Maybe this would be good soundtrack? @archaeal.bsky.social

Cool that the thiamin precursors are important exometabolites!
