Prepare Libraries in Only 2 Hours

The NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Kit 2.0 can produce libraries from 10 ng of cell free DNA for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) analysis, in two hours. This low-input library preparation kit delivers high coverage quality and reduced bias for Illumina® sequencing applications. The NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Kit 2.0 can be used to prepare single, paired-end and multiplexed DNA libraries for sequencing using Illumina®platforms. The availability of up to 384 single-index single index and unique dual index barcodes facilitates high-throughput applications without compromising data integrity.

Reduced Bias and Coverage Gaps

NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Kit 2.0 exhibits minimal GC bias and produces uniform coverage of difficult to sequence genome regions. This kit also offers robust ligation efficiency, resulting in greater library diversity and a larger number of unique sequencing reads. These optimizations enable investigators to obtain more information from each sequencing run.

Flexible Multiplexing Options

The NEXTFLEX® Cell Free DNA-Seq Library Prep Kit 2.0 for Illumina®  sequencing is designed to be used with the NEXTFLEX® Unique Dual Index barcodes, NEXTFLEX® DNA barcodes, NEXTFLEX-96™ DNA barcodes and NEXTFLEX-HT™ barcodes. These barcodes are available in sets of 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 384 unique indexed adapters. All of these NEXTFLEX® Adapters are long, annealed adapters that offer an improved multiplexing workflow and flexible setup.

Figure 1. Nucleosome enriched libraries

10 ng input of cfDNA was used for the enrichment (or no enrichment) and prepared using the NEXTFLEX® cell-free DNA-seq kit 2.0 standard protocol with the following enrichments.

A) No enrichment

B) Mono-nucleosome enrichment

C) Mono-, di-, tri-nucleosome enrichment

Figure 2. Automated NEXTFLEX® cell-free DNA-seq kit 2.0 libraries

cfDNA was isolated from 5 mL of plasma using the NextPrep-Mag™ cfDNA automated isolation kit on the chemagic™ 360 instrument and cleaned/concentrated to be eluted in 32 µL into the NEXTFLEX® cell-free DNA-seq kit 2.0 using 9 cycles of PCR (without nucleosome enrichment. Libraries were diluted 1:3 and run on the LabChip® GXII Touch™ HT nucleic acid analyzer.
