Product Info
Overview
Purify amplified DNA ranging from 100 bp -15,000 bp in size
Fast and efficient spin column format
Available in a 50 prep size and a 250 prep size
Also available in 96 well format
This kit enables the rapid purification of amplified DNA products from PCR mixes. It is able to effectively remove PCR by-products including primers, dimers, enzymes, unincorporated nucleotides and mineral oil from the desired PCR product. The purified PCR products are fully compatible with restriction enzyme digestion, ligation into vectors, labeling, sequencing and more. This kit can also be used as an alternative to organic extraction and ethanol precipitation to clean up various enzymatic reactions.
The kit is also available in a 96-well format for high-throughput PCR purification. Purification with the 96-well plate can be performed using either a vacuum manifold or centrifugation.
Storage Conditions and Product Stability All solutions should be kept tightly sealed and stored at room temperature. This kit is stable for 1 year after the date of shipment.

NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms)
Product Info
Document
Product Info
The NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit (illumina and MGI Platforms) was developed for the construction of high quality FFPE DNA libraries using 10 ng to 400 ng of input DNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. The DNA damage caused by fixation makes it difficult to construct high quality libraries. Our kit has been optimized to repair damaged DNA in the reactions. Multiplexing of the NGS FFPE DNA Library is possible.
NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
FFPE samples are a great resource for biomedical research. However, the methods for fixation and condition of storage significantly damage the DNA in the samples. Thus, the extraction of high quality DNA from FFPE samples is often a challenge. Low yield and low quality of FFPE DNA usually are common because of the limited tissue material and the DNA degradation.
As a result, it is usually difficult to construct high quality NGS libraries from low amount and low quality of FFPE DNA. In order to address this issue, we have developed the NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit to make high quality libraries from the low input of FFPE DNA samples.
Three index types are available for the NGS FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit of the illumina platform:
Non-index (Cat.# 30035): Libraries do not have index.
Index (Cat.# 30037): Each of our index primers contains a unique barcode DNA (6 bases long) that can be used to identify individual library. Multiplexing of libraries is up to 48 samples. Index information can be downloaded here.
Unique dual index (Cat.# 30039): FFPE DNA library multiplexing is possible with 96 samples based on the unique dual indexing system. Our unique Four–Base Difference Index System allows us to make indexes that have at least 4 bases different from each other in the 8-base index sequence. Our unique dual indexing primers can effectively remove NGS errors including index hopping, de-multiplexing errors, index cross-contamination, mis-assignments etc. The unique dual index primer set includes 96 pre-mixed unique pairs of i5 and i7 index primers. Index information can be downloaded here.
Indexes are available for the MGI platform kits (Cat.# 34037).
Kit advantages:
Fast and simple protocol
Making libraries in just 1.5 hours
10 minutes of hands-on time
Easy procedure
Ready-to-use master mix to reduce the tedious mixing
Less reaction components to simplify the reaction setup
Less magnetic beads needed for the purification steps: saving more than 50% of the expensive beads
Low input FFPE DNA: From 10 ng to 400 ng
Comparison of library conversion efficiency under the same condition. Input DNA amount is 25 ng.
Comparison of library yield under the same condition. Input DNA amount is 25 ng.
