Product Description
The StepWise DNA Library Preparation Kit is designed to generate high-quality next generation sequencing (NGS) DNA libraries compatible with Illumina(R) platforms. Starting from fragmented input-DNA (500 pg - 1000 ng), the kit contains all the enzymes and buffers for end-repairing, dA-tailing, adapter ligation and library amplification. Due to the flexible protocol, the kit can be conveniently used for construction of PCR-free libraries from 100 ng of high-quality fragmented genomic DNA, or 10 ng of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA). PCR primers provided in the kit are optional for users who prefer self-selected high-fidelity DNA polymerases in the library amplification.
