How many libraries can I pool together in one hybridisation reaction for the Cancer 50 Panel or the exome kit?
Library pooling guidelines for all custom and off the shelf products are listed on pg. 27 of the protocol. For the Cancer 50 panel up to 16 libraries can be pooled into 1 hybridisation reaction and you use 4 ul of probe set per reaction. For the exome panel, up to 8 libraries can be pooled. By all means, you can pool less than this number. However, you will need to ensure that the concentration of the combined pool reaches a total of 1000ng.
