Nextera™ Technology for Next-Generation Sequencing Library Preparation
EPICENTRE's revolutionary Nextera™ technology* uses in vitro transposition to
prepare sequencer-ready libraries from genomic DNA for multiple sequencing platforms.
The technology simultaneously fragments and tags DNA, in a single-tube reaction.
· Use nanogram amounts of starting DNA.
· Prepare sequencer-ready libraries in less than 2 hours.
· Incorporate platform-specific tags and optional barcodes.
· Validated on Roche 454™ GS FLX and GS FLX Titanium™, and Illumina® Solexa® GAI, GAII.
