Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V1-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V1-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 V1-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 V1-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.

Introduction

The Kit provides fast purification of high-quality RNA from whole blood, cells and tissues using silica-membrane spin columns with a binding capacity of 100μg RNA. There is no need for phenol / chloroform extractions and time-consuming steps such as CsCl gradient ultracentrifugation or isopropanol precipitation. The purified RNA can be used for applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, poly A+ RNA (mRNA) purification, nuclease protection and in vitro translation.

Principle

The Kit simplifies isolation of RNA from blood with a fast spin-column procedure. Red blood cells are selectively lysed and white cells collected by centrifugation. White cells are then lysed using highly denaturing conditions which immediately inactivate RNases. After homogenization using the DNA spin column, the sample is applied to the RNA column. Total RNA binds to the membrane and contaminants are washed away, leaving pure RNA to be eluted in 30–100µl RNase-free water (provided with the kit) for direct use in any downstream application.

Advantages

• High quality – high purity total RNA can be directly used in various sensitive downstream applications
• Fast – isolation of several samples can be completed in 20 minutes by using column purification method
• Sensitive – RNA can be purified at the level of PG
