New England Biolabs® (NEB) today announced the release of the NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® next generation sequencing systems. The new Ultra II kit substantially improves upon its predecessor to produce libraries of both higher quality and higher yield from a variety of sample types, including challenging ones, such as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples and those containing low amounts of input DNA.
"The boundaries of library construction are constantly expanding as sequencing technologies evolve, necessitating reagents and protocols that are reliable, and don't compromise library quality," said Fiona Stewart, NEBNext Product Marketing Manager at NEB. "We've re-engineered our reagents for this new generation of NEBNext kits to accommodate as little as 500 pg of input DNA, increase yields, use fewer PCR cycles, and provide even more uniform GC coverage, all with an automatable workflow."
The NEBNext Ultra II kit addresses many of the difficulties associated with ...
