With Nextera technology, DNA is simultaneously fragmented and tagged with sequencing adapters in a single tube enzymatic reaction. Nextera XT supports ultra-low DNA input of only 1 ng. It enables a wide range of input samples, includingsmall genomes, PCR amplicons greater than 300 bp, plasmids, microbial genomes, concatenated amplicons, and double-stranded cDNA.
Multiplexing of up to 384 samples per Nextera XT library is also available for those projects requiring greater throughput. Plus, the kit includes an innovative bead-based sample normalization that eliminates the need for library quantification prior to pooling and sequencing. Libraries prepared with Nextera XT kits are compatible with all Illumina sequencers.
