Added Flexibility to Library Preparation

The NEXTFLEX® RNA-Seq Barcodes are indexed adapters that are designed for use with the NEXTFLEX® Rapid RNA-Seq Kit and the NEXTFLEX® Rapid Directional RNA-Seq Kit. These barcodes are not recommended for use with the new NEXTFLEX® Rapid Directional RNA-seq kit 2.0.

These indexes are composed of a 6 nt error-correcting sequence, offering an improved multiplex workflow and adding flexibility to library prep. The ability to pool samples in an efficient way significantly decreases hands on time while providing robust data quality. Their automation-friendly format enables multiplexing of up to 48 samples. The NEXTFLEX® RNA-Seq Barcodes are available in sets of 6, 12, 24 and 48 unique adapters. We also offer the NEXTFLEX-96™ RNA-Seq Barcode Kits, which contain 96 – 8 nt index barcodes in a 96-well format (cat # NOVA-512915) .

Avoiding Registration Failure with Low Level Multiplexing

Registration failure could occur if the color balance was not maintained between the red and green lasers (used to sequence A/C bases and G/T bases, respectively). Read our blog post, Tech Tips – Barcode Recommendations for Low Level Multiplexing, to learn how to avoid registration failure on an  Illumina® sequencer caused by lack of sufficient index sequence diversity.
