February 2014—Swift Biosciences announced the launch of the Accel-NGS PCR-free DNA Library Kit for Illumina next-generation sequencing systems. The kit is designed to bring low input requirement, PCR-free capability, and fast, easy workflow to the Illumina platform.
With the Accel-NGS PCR-free DNA Library Kit, scientists can now produce high-complexity, PCR-free libraries with as little as 250 ng of input DNA. Libraries have been achieved from even lower inputs (down to 100 ng), but may require library concentration prior to loading the flow cell. High-sequence quality and coverage with very low chimera formation are now possible from low DNA input levels.
The kit is fast, requiring approximately 90 minutes from start to finish, and consists of five easy steps. In addition, the kit does not require intact double-stranded DNA, making it compatible with damaged samples. Optional single and dual indexing sets are available.
