Multiplex PCR reagents for targeted NGS

How to choose

Choose by template: the Mul-PCR Kit BR3M106 is for DNA panels of 10–600-plex; the Mul-PCR Mix for DNA&RNA BR3M303 amplifies DNA and RNA targets in one tube; the AmpHiFi Mul-RT-PCR Kit BR3M322 is for RNA panels and adds proofreading, about 68× the fidelity of Taq.

DNA library prep: kit and modules

How to choose

The Universal DNA Library Prep Kit BR3D201 covers fragmentation, end repair, dA-tailing, adapter ligation and library amplification; adapters and clean-up beads are not included. The modules replace single steps: fragmentation BR3N602, library amplification with an Illumina TruSeq primer mix BR3M105 and bead clean-up BR3N401.

DNA modifying enzymes for library prep and WGA

How to choose

Pick by workflow step: T4 DNA Polymerase BR3P302 and Klenow Fragment BR3P305 blunt ends; Klenow exo– BR3P108 does fill-in and second-strand synthesis without 3′→5′ exonuclease activity; T4 PNK BR3P303 phosphorylates 5′ ends; T4 DNA Ligase BR3P301 ligates adapters; phi29 BR3P104 is the proofreading, strand-displacing enzyme for WGA and RCA.

High-fidelity, long-range and direct PCR

How to choose

AmpHifi HS DNA Polymerase I and III BR3P101, BR3P103 come as enzyme plus 5× buffer for purified DNA; III is faster (20 s/kb) at about 150× Taq fidelity. LongR Super-Fidelity Master Mix BR3M121 amplifies up to 30 kb from λ or plasmid templates and also works on crude bacteria, fungi, plant tissue and whole blood. For RNA templates use LongR One-Step RT-PCR BR3M321; for unextracted plant tissue, the Plant Tissue Direct kit BR1A503.

Nucleic acid extraction for NGS

How to choose

Choose by sample. For sputum and BALF BR2D103 or blood, body fluids, swabs, tissue and FFPE BR2C102, both kits co-isolate DNA and RNA on magnetic beads and have an automated protocol. For total RNA from plant tissue or cultured cells, use the spin-column kit BR2B202.
