Sample Preparation for Next Generation Sequencing
As sequencing technologies improve and applications expand, the need for compatibility with ever-decreasing input amounts and sub-optimal sample quality grows. Scientists must balance reliability and performance with faster turnaround, higher throughput and automation compatibility.
For over 12 years, NEB has addressed these challenges by offering solutions that streamline sample prep workflows, minimize inputs and improve library yield and quality. The NEBNext portfolio includes solutions for DNA and RNA sample prep from a wide range of sample types. Use of NEBNext reagents has been cited in >14,000 peer-reviewed publications.
Most recently, in the COVID-19 pandemic, NEBNext® reagents are being employed in applications including targeted SARS-CoV-2 sequencing, host genomic sequencing and metagenomic sequencing. These include new NEBNext kits for the ARTIC SARS-CoV-2 workflow, compatible with Illumina® and Oxford Nanopore Technologies® sequencing.
