Prepare Libraries in Only 2 Hours
The NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Kit 2.0 can produce libraries from 10 ng of cell free DNA for circulating tumor DNA or cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) analysis, in two hours. This low-input library preparation kit delivers high coverage quality and reduced bias for Illumina® sequencing applications. The NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Kit 2.0 can be used to prepare single, paired-end and multiplexed DNA libraries for sequencing using Illumina®platforms. The availability of up to 384 single-index single index and unique dual index barcodes facilitates high-throughput applications without compromising data integrity.
We recommend using the NextPrep-Mag™ cfDNA Automated Isolation Kit for isolation of circulating cfDNA from blood plasma prior to library prep with the NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Kit 2.0.
Reduced Bias and Coverage Gaps
NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Kit 2.0 exhibits minimal GC bias and produces uniform coverage of difficult to sequence genome regions. This kit also offers robust ligation efficiency, resulting in greater library diversity and a larger number of unique sequencing reads. These optimizations enable investigators to obtain more information from each sequencing run.
Flexible Multiplexing Options
The NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Library Prep Kit 2.0 for Illumina® sequencing is designed to be used with the NEXTFLEX® Unique Dual Index barcodes, NEXTFLEX® DNA barcodes, NEXTFLEX-96™ DNA barcodes and NEXTFLEX-HT™ barcodes. These barcodes are available in sets of 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 384 unique indexed adapters. All of these NEXTFLEX® Adapters are long, annealed adapters that offer an improved multiplexing workflow and flexible setup.
