FAQ: Can the NEBNext® Primers for Epigenetics be used to address “index hopping” with Illumina® patterned flow cells?

Yes. The Unique Dual Index Primer Pairs were designed to facilitate sequencing on patterned flow cells for the Illumina instruments where index hopping is problematic. The unique combinations of dual indices allow identification and complete filtering of index-swapped reads.
