When should I perform preamplification prior to SNP genotyping on the Fluidigm platform?

Preamplification can be used to improve data quality when there is:

• Low and/or varied sample concentration or low copy numbers due to large genome size.
• Low sample quality.
• Carryover of inhibitory compounds from DNA extraction (more common for plant species).
