 Clean Up Using AMPure XP® Beads (Beckman Coulter, Inc.) 
  1. Vortex AMPure XP beads to resuspend.
  2. Add 90 μl (1.8X) of resuspended AMPure XP beads to the ligation reaction (~50 μl). Mix thoroughly on a vortex mixer or by pipetting up and down at least 10 times.
  3. Incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature.

Size Selection of Adaptor Ligated DNA Using AMPure XP Beads


Note: (X) refers to original sample volume of 100 μl.

  1. Add 90 μl (0.9x) resuspended AMPure xP beads to 100 μl DNA solution. Mix well on a vortex mixer or by pipetting up and down at least 10 times.

  2. Incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature.

  3. Place the tube/PCR plate on an appropriate magnetic stand to separate beads from supernatant. After the solution is clear (about 5 minutes), carefully transfer the supernatant to a new tube/well (Caution: do not discard the supernatant). Discard beads that contain the large fragments.

  4. Add 20 μl (0.2x) resuspended AMPure xP beads to the supernatant, mix well and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature.

  5. Put the tube/PCR plate on an appropriate magnetic stand to separate beads from supernatant. After the solution is clear (about 5 minutes), carefully remove and discard the supernatant. Be careful not to disturb the beads that contain DNA targets (Caution: do not discard beads).

  6. Add 200 μl of 80% freshly prepared ethanol to the tube/PCR plate while in the magnetic stand. Incubate at room temperature for 30 seconds, and then carefully remove and discard the supernatant.

  7. Repeat Step 6 once.

  8. Air dry beads for 10 minutes while the tube/PCR plate is on the magnetic stand with lid open.

  9. Elute DNA target from beads into 30 μl water or 0.1x tE buffer. Mix well on a vortex mixer or by pipetting up and down, and put the tube/PCR plate in the magnetic stand until the solution is clear.

  10. Transfer 23 μl of the supernatant to a clean PCR tube and proceed to enrichment.

Alternatively, size selection can be performed using a number of methods including E-Gel® (Life Technologies, Inc.) size select gels or standard 2% agarose gels. NEB's 100 bp ladder (NEB #N3231 ) can be used to determine the size of the fragments. Isolate library fragments in the 175–225 base pair range. Purify the DNA on one purification column and elute in 25 μl of sterile water or elution buffer.

 Note: Be sure not to transfer any beads. Trace amounts of bead carry-over may affect the optimal performance of the polymerase used in the NEBNext High-Fidelity 2X PCR Master Mix in the subsequent PCR step.

PCR Enrichment of Adaptor Ligated DNA
  1. Mix the following components in a sterile microfuge tube:
    Adaptor ligated DNA   23 μl
    NEBNext High-Fidelity 2X PCR Master Mix**  25 μl
    Universal PCR Primer (25 μM)   1 μl
    Index 1 Primer* (25 μM)   1 μL
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Total volume   50 μl
    * If you are using the NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (#E7335 , #E7500 ), for each reaction, only one of the 12 PCR primer indices is used during the PCR step.
    ** NEBNext High-Fidelity 2X PCR Master Mix will be replacing Phusion High-Fidelity PCR Master Mix. Both vials will be supplied for a limited time only.

Dilute the library 20 fold with nuclease free water, and assess the library quality on a Bioanalyzer® (Agilent high sensitivity chip) (Agilent technologies, Inc.). Check that the electropherogram shows a narrow distribution with a peak size around 275 bp is expected (an example is shown below).
