Ligation Sequencing Kit XL

This kit is recommended for users who:

  • would like to process multiple samples simultaneously, either with a multichannel pipette or a liquid handling robot
  • want to optimise their sequencing experiment for throughput
  • require control over read length
  • would like to utilise upstream processes such as size selection or whole genome amplification.

Key features:

Prep time

110 minutes

Input amount

1000 ng high molecular weight dsDNA 100+ ng DNA if performing fragmentation or PCR

Read length

= fragment length

Typical throughput

2-3+ Gb in 6 hours, 8+ Gb in 48 hours per flow cell on MinION/GridION; 10-15+ Gb in 6 hours, 40+ Gb in 48 hours per flow cell on PromethION

Workflow

The Ligation Sequencing Kit offers a flexible method of preparing sequencing libraries from dsDNA (e.g. gDNA, cDNA or amplicons). The library preparation method is straightforward: DNA ends are FFPE repaired and end-prepped/dA-tailed using the NEBNext End Repair/dA-tailing module, and then sequencing adapters, supplied in the kit, are ligated onto the prepared ends.
