Description
KAPA Library Quantification Kits contain all the reagents needed for the accurate, reliable and reproducible qPCR-based quantification of NGS libraries prior to pooling for capture or flow cell amplification. Kits contain KAPA SYBR® FAST qPCR Master Mix, optimized for high-performance SYBR Green I-based qPCR. The engineered KAPA SYBR FAST DNA Polymerase contained in the Master Mix amplifies GC- and AT-rich DNA fragments of different lengths with similar efficiency, making it the only qPCR Master Mix capable of accurate qPCR-based quantification of NGS libraries. The pre-diluted set of DNA Standards contained in each kit is carefully quality-controlled to ensure lot-to-lot consistency and avoid data drift over time. Optimized Primer Premixes ensure optimal PCR efficiency.
Features: Accurately quantify PCR-competent sequencing templates - - qPCR only “counts” those library molecules that can be sequenced
- More consistent cluster densities or template-to-bead ratios enable optimal utilization of sequencing resources
Improve pooling for multiplexed sequencing - - Library concentrations determined by qPCR are more reliable compared to other methods
- The engineered KAPA SYBR FAST qPCR Master Mix enables accurate pooling of libraries with extreme GC-contents or longer inserts
Eliminate drift with carefully quality-controlled DNA Standards - - Prediluted DNA Standards eliminate quantification errors associated with preparation of standard curves using in-house standards
- KAPA DNA Standards undergo strict quality control to ensure lot-to-lot consistency and eliminate data drift over time
Improve throughput with automation - - Library quantification assay is compatible with 96- and 384-well format
- Library dilution, reaction setup and data analysis can be automated for HTP pipelines
