30×1.5／2ml Angle rotor 

The Opentrons Flex 96-Channel pipette enables accurate high throughput pipetting, optimized for working in 96-well plates. Flex Pipettes use air displacement technology to offer highly accurate pipetting with pipette volume ranges from 5 – 1000 μL.

Smart sensors support automatic calibration, real-time positioning, and error detection. The 96-channel pipette occupies both pipette mounts and can easily be removed and swapped to an alternate pipette configurations to adapt your workflow needs.

Four 96-Channel Tip Rack Adapters are included with the purchase of one Flex 96-Channel Pipette.

Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V2-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V2-V3 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 V2-V3 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 V2-V3 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.

NH-bis(PEG4-Propargyl) is a bifunctional PEG compound containing two terminal alkynes that are joined together at a secondary amine. Terminal alkynes are reactive towards azides in copper (I) click chemistry to form stable triazoles with the target compound. The secondary amine joining the two arms can be used as a nucleophile such as in alkylation via reductive amination or in forming amides with carboxylic acids or activated NHS esters. The use of a central amine also allows for hydrogen bonding, further increasing this compound’s water solubility.
