Product Name:

NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (Dual Index Primers Set 1)

Catalog Number:

E7600S

The NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (Dual Index Primers Set 1) contains the adaptor and index primers that are ideally suited for multiplex sample preparation for next-generation sequencing on the Illumina platform. Using this kit, 24 different bacterial genomic DNA libraries were prepared and sequenced in MiSeq platform. All libraries generated desired cluster amplification and reads with Q score of 30.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Next generation sequencing library preparation of bacterial whole genome sequencing in Illumina

Starting Material

24 different bacterial genomic DNA samples (sheared by Covaris M220 sonicator)

Protocol Overview

The NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (Dual Index Primers Set 1) contains the adaptor, 8 i5 indexing primers and 12 i7 indexing primers. Using combination of i5 and i7 indexing primers (dual indexing strategy), I have prepped 36 different samples for sequencing using single run in MiSeq platform. Protocol comes with easy to follow pictorial instructions and followed instructions given in the kit manual.

Tips

Avoid contaminating i5 and i7 indexing primers. Always change caps of the primer tubes with new ones.

Results Summary

Using The NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (Dual Index Primers Set 1), I have successfully prepped 36 different bacterial genomic DNA samples sequencing libraries for single run in the MiSeq platform.

Summary

The Good

Simple and easy to follow protocol. Can prep 96 samples (high throughput sample prep).

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Better kit for next generation sequencing library preparation when compared to Illumina's TruSeq adapter kit for DNA sequencing.
