The PCR-free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit was developed for construction of DNA libraries for next generation sequencing (illumina platform). The kit adds 3′-dT-tailed library adapters to both ends of DNA fragments efficiently. The kit uses double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library construction, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic methods (BioDynami DNA fragmentation enzymes etc.) and physical methods (sonication, nebulization etc.).
PCR-Free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
PCR amplification is a standard step for library preparation of Next-Generation Sequencing. The PCR is used to amplify fully ligated DNA fragments and to add index information to the libraries. The indexing is for the pooling of the library samples in an effort to reduce the sequencing cost.
However, PCR introduces uneven amplification of DNA in some DNA regions with extreme GC-contents and secondary structures. This bias can cause very low sequencing coverage in such regions. DNA sequencing in these regions is still a huge challenge.
PCR-free library prep can reduce library bias and minimize sequencing gaps. The sequencing data from PCR-free library samples have even genomic coverage with few gaps and better depth in GC-rich regions. Our PCR-free NGS kit offers optimal coverage in the regions that are traditionally difficult, such as high-GC content regions, low-GC content regions, and repetitive sequence regions.
Two index types are available for the kit:
Non-index: Libraries do not have index.
Index: Each library contains one i5 index and one i7 index. Library multiplexing up to 96 samples is possible. List of indexes can be downloaded Here.

Description
The ExcelRT™ One-Step RT-qPCR kit (TaqMan, no ROX) is designed for reverse transcription and quantitative real-time analysis of a specific target RNA by one-step reaction. The ExcelRT™ One-Step RT-qPCR kit (TaqMan, no ROX), consisting of One-Step RT Enzyme Mix and 2X One-Step Master Mix, is a convenient kit designed for highly efficient cDNA synthesis and highly specific real-time PCR in a single tube. The One-Step RT Enzyme Mix contains a thermostable ExcelRT™ Reverse Transcriptase and a RNAok™ RNase inhibitor. Consequently, One-Step RT Enzyme Mix can reverse transcribe RNA to cDNA at a wide temperature range from 42 to 60°C and active against RNase A, RNase B and RNase C. By containing specialized hot-start Taq DNA polymerase, which greatly reduce primer-dimer formation and can be activated within 2 minutes, the 2X One-Step Master Mix features high specificity and is suitable for fast cycle program.

Microcystin are a class of hepatotoxins produced by blue-green algae such as Microcystis aeruginosa. Microcystin-LR is the most common of the over 50 different congeners. Cyanobacteria can produce microcystin in large quantities during an algae bloom which then pose a major threat.
This kit can be used for Congener-Independent quantitative test of Microcystin in liquid samples such as drinking, ambient and waste water and algal cultures.
Additional Quality Control, Calibration Verification, and Spiking Solution materials can be obtained separately in optional Supplemental Pack for Method 546 (catalog # EL2024-Q).
