* Requires use of the correct adaptor; choose based on the version of EM-seq being used. Original EM-seq (NEB #E7120) is not supplied with the NEBNext EM-seq Adaptor. The adaptor and indices must be purchased separately as part of NEBNext Unique Dual Index Pairs for EM-seq (NEB #E7140). Adaptors for use with NEBNext EM-seq v2 (NEB #E8015) and NEBNext E5hmC-seq (NEB #E3350) are provided as components in the library prep kits. Index primers for use with these kits are optimized for low-volume workflows and are available as NEBNext LV Unique Dual Index Primers (Sets 1-5).

** Requires use of NEBNext EM-seq adaptor from NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Enzymatic Methyl-seq (Unique Dual Index Primer Pairs, #E7140S/L) .
