NEBNext® Multiplex Small RNA Library Prep Set for Illumina® (Set 1)

Description











The novel NEBNext® Small RNA workflow has been optimized to minimize adaptor-dimers while producing high-yield, high-diversity libraries. The NEBNext® Small RNA Library Prep Set for Illumina® (Set 1) includes adaptors and multiplex primers with 12 indices, to enable multiplexing. An additional 12 index primers for multiplexing are included in kit NEB #E7580.

Notes

  1. Kit Optimization

    The components of this kit were collectively optimized with FirstChoice® Human Brain Reference RNA (Life Technologies, Inc. #AM6050).

    High quality total RNA should be used as starting material. An RNA Integrity Number (RIN) > 7 is recommended.

    Assess the quality and quantity of your sample using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using an Agilent RNA 6000 Nano Chip.

FAQs

  1. Can I use Total RNA to make small RNA libraries or do I have to isolate or enrich the sample for small RNA?
  2. Why does the RT primer hybridization occur before 5’adaptor ligation?
  3. Do I have to hybridize the RT primer again after 5’ ligation?
  4. How are the barcodes introduced in the Multiplex libraries?
  5. During size selection on 6% PAGE gel, which bands should I cut out of the gel?
  6. Are libraries prepared by this method compatible with paired-end flowcells for cluster generation?
  7. Can I use the small RNA sample preparation kit for Directional-RNA sequencing?
  8. What is the sequence of the final PCR product?
  9. Can I use enriched small RNA instead of total RNA for the NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep for Illumina?
  10. What should I do if my Small RNA may not have 5´ Phosphate and 3´ OH groups?
  11. How should my NEBNext Small RNA library be trimmed?
