NGS Sample Prep & Target Enrichment
Library preparation is a critical part of the next generation sequencing workflow; successful sequencing requires the generation of high quality libraries of sufficient yield and quality.
As sequencing technologies improve and capacities expand, boundaries are also being pushed on sample preparation. High performance is required from ever-decreasing input quantities and from samples of lower quality. At the same time, the need is increasing for faster, automatable protocols that perform reliably and do not compromise the quality of the libraries produced.To meet these growing challenges, the NEBNext suite of products continues to evolve to support next generation sequencing with sample preparation tools that streamline workflows, minimize inputs, and improve library yields and quality.
NEBNext reagents are available for sample preparation for Illumina® and Ion Torrent® sequencing platforms. Products are in user-friendly formats including kits and modules, with bulk or customized formats also available. Adaptors and primers are available separately, for maximized flexibility. Use of NEBNext products has been cited in over 1,000 publications.
