Find Products for Nanopore Sequencing

Leveraging NEB’s expertise in enzyme and extraction technologies, we offer a unique selection of products that are convenient, easy-to-use, and provide improved performance for sample preparation upstream of nanopore sequencing; these solutions have been optimized for and tailored to this application.

 


Extract high-quality, intact DNA quickly and easily with Monarch Kits

NEB offers two approaches for best-in-class genomic DNA extraction. Our standard Monarch Genomic DNA Purification Kit is a silica spin column-based approach enabling isolation of highly pure and highly-intact genomic DNA from various sample types, with peak DNA sizes >50 kb. Our Monarch HMW DNA Extraction Kits use a novel glass bead-based approach to isolate high molecular weight DNA (HMW DNA) from various samples with industry-leading speed and purity. Both methods can extract high-quality input DNA for use in Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing and other long-read applications, but the latter enables isolation of DNA from 50 kb up to several megabases in size for techniques that benefit from ultra-high molecular weight DNA (UHMW DNA).

ARTIC kits for SARS-CoV-2 sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies platform

The NEBNext ARTIC kits were developed based on the original work of the ARTIC Network(1) on their multiplexed amplicon-based whole- viral-genome sequencing approach. The kits include primers and reagents for cDNA synthesis and targeted amplification from SARS- CoV-2 gRNA as well as downstream library preparation. The balanced ARTIC V3 primers and optimized reagents for RT-PCR deliver improved uniformity of amplicon yields from gRNA across a wide copy number range. The NEBNext ARTIC SARS-CoV-2 Companion Kit (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) (NEB #E7660) is used alongside kits from ONT to generate libraries with inserts in the 400 bp range. These can be sequenced on any ONT instrument, in 2–24 hour run times.


Nanopore_4_NEBNext_ARTIC_ONT_product 
  • Includes two primer options: VarSkip Short, for improved variant coverage, and ARTIC V3
  • Express protocol option available, with reduced cleanup steps
  • Improved uniformity of SARS-CoV-2 genome coverage, with balanced primer pools
  • Streamlined, high-efficiency protocol
  • Effective with a wide range of viral genome inputs (10-10,000 copies)
  • For a bulk format of the kit (2,304 reactions) please contact us
