The 16S V1-V2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V1-V2 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.
The 16S V1-V2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V1-V2 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability Norgen’s 16S V1-V2 Library Prep Kit for Illumina is shipped as one kit box (for the 24 prep kit) or two sub-component kits (for the 96 prep kit). All kits should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
All kit components should remain stable for at least 1 year when stored at the specified storage conditions.
Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (Cod UNG) from Atlantic Cod is the only commercially available UNG enzyme that is completely and irreversibly inactivated by moderate heat treatment. The enzyme is produced in a recombinant E. coli (ung-) strain that contains a modified Cod UNG gene.
Key Features:
Heat-labile – Completely and irreversibly inactivated at 55°C
Contamination control – ideal in applications below
Use of Cod UNG makes contamination control possible in RT-PCR
Does not degrade PCR product post-PCR. This makes downstream use of the PCR product possible
High purity enzyme, tested free of contaminating nucleases
There are several commercially available Uracil-DNA glycosylases on the market today. Most of them are of bacterial origin and work well if you have no intention to further analyze the PCR products post-PCR. However, if you want to store your PCR products for downstream analysis such as cloning and sequencing, the reactivation of UNG and subsequent degradation of your PCR products are a problem with most of the commercially available UNGs. Cod UNG from ArcticZymes is completely and irreversibly inactivated by heat thus ensuring that sample integrity is maintained long-term regardless of storage conditions.
This is illustrated in figure 1, below

Properties
Recommended Protocols
1. Contamination control in PCR, qPCR and one-step RT-qPCR
Cod UNG works in all commercially available master mixes.
Be sure that you have used dUTP containing dNTP mixes in your previous PCR experiments.
Add 0.2 U Cod UNG directly to your 20 µl PCR reaction.
pre-incubate for 5 min at room temperature.
For RT-qPCR, reverse transcribe your RNA at 50-55°C.
Run your PCR.
Store your PCR product at -20°C or 4°C degrees.
2. Contamination control in RT-LAMP
Cod UNG is ideal for contamination control in RT-LAMP. One unit of Cod UNG per 30 μl reaction is sufficient for removing even high concentrations of carry-over contamination.
Ensure that you use dNTP mixes containing dUTP in your experiments.
Check that the RT-LAMP reaction is compatible with dUTP by running side-by-side reactions containing different ratios of dUTP to dUTP (100% dUTP, 90% dUTP, 80% dUTP and 0% dUTP).
Add 1 U Cod UNG directly to your 30 µl RT-LAMP reaction.
Prepare the reaction mix on ice.
Analyze your RNA at 65°C, no preincubation is necessary.
