The NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for construction of high quality NGS libraries with low input DNA amount from 1 ng to 400 ng. The kit allows scientist to study samples with limited DNA such as tumor samples, patient samples, and other specially collected samples (FACS sorting etc.). The kit has high library conversion efficiency with as little as 1 ng DNA input. The fast and simple 1.5-hour protocol makes libraries with even coverage and low GC-bias based our unique chemistry for DNA end-polishing and ligation.

The kit needs double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library preparation, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic approach (for example, BioDynami DNA fragmentation enzymes, Cat.# 40061 and Cat.# 40062) and mechanical approaches such as sonication and nebulization etc.

NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow

Three index types are available for the NGS Low Input DNA Library Prep Kit of illumina platform:

Non-index (Cat.# 30022): Libraries do not have index.

Index (Cat.# 30024): Each of our index primers contains a unique barcode sequence with 6 bases that can be used to identify the low input DNA libraries. Library multiplexing up to 48 samples is possible. Index information can be downloaded here.

Unique dual index (Cat.# 30025): Library multiplexing up to 96 low input DNA libraries is possible with unique dual indexes with our Four-Base Difference Index System. The system allows us to make indexes for the libraries that have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8-base barcode length. Our unique dual index primers can reduce sequencing errors such as de-multiplexing errors, amplification errors, mis-assignment of reads, index cross-contamination, and also index hopping. The kit  includes 96 pre-mixed unique pairs of index primers. Index information can be downloaded here.

Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34024).

Kit advantages:

• • • Fast protocol
      • The hands-on time is only 10 minutes
      • The total protocol time is around 1.5 hours
    • Simple procedure
      • Ready-to-use master mix makes it simple for reaction setup
      • Less reaction components
    • Less magnetic beads required for cleanup steps: Save the cost more than 50%
    • Low input DNA amount: Starts from 1 ng of DNA

Introduction

This product is suitable for extracting total pathogen nucleic acid from biological samples with no/low cell content such as body fluid, serum, plasma, soaking solution, tissue homogenate supernatant, culture medium supernatant, etc. The purified DNA/RNA can be used for clinical in vitro detection.

Specifications

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and Protease. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA/RNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA/RNA was eluted by Buffer NFW.

Advantages

• Fast – several samples can be extracted in 40 minutes by column method
• High quality – high purity total RNA / DNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Safe – no phenol chloroform extraction required
• Sensitive – DNA/RNA can be recovered at the level of PG

Storage and Stability

MagPure Particles and Proteinase K should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 8 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance. The remaining kit components can be stored at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for 18 months under these conditions.
