Best practice to pool samples for sequencing?

Hello, it’s my first time having a library sequenced. I have 96 samples with varying concentrations. We are supposed to deliver a 4nm pool to the sequencing facility. My question is; what is the best way to pool all the samples?

Does it make sense to make an equimolar pool first in ng/ul and then diluting this to the required nm? Or is it better to immediately convert all concentrations from ng/ul to nm and then calculate a pool?

I am a little bit confused …

Thanks!

This is not bioinformatics-related and as such off-topic. If you collaborate with a sequencing facility I recommend to always first talk to them, as they're experienced. I am sure they can give you some best practices. Facilities we worked with have always been very helpful and friendly when asked for help.
