Save Time and Resources

Illumina DNA Prep uses a fast, user-friendly workflow. On-bead tagmentation chemistry reduces total library prep time to ~3.5 hours, from DNA extraction to library normalization.

Simplify Lab Operations

The Illumina DNA Prep workflow supports a broad DNA input range (1–500 ng), multiple sample types, and both small and large genomes. The workflow includes DNA extraction from blood, saliva, or dried blood spots*or bacterial colonies*.

Gain the flexibility to sequence human or other large, complex genomes as well as amplicons or microbial species, all with a single kit.

Obtain Reliable Results

While accommodating various study requirements, the Illumina DNA Prep workflow delivers consistent insert sizes, uniform coverage, and optimized performance, regardless of DNA input amount or genome size. The bead-based technology minimizes bias and opportunities for error, resulting in highly reproducible sequencing data.

Access Flexible Throughput Options

The IDT for Illumina - DNA/RNA UD Indexes Sets A, B, C, and D offer up to 384 unique dual indexes, enabling accurate assignment of reads and efficient use of the flow cell. (Sets A and B are available now. Sets C and D are coming soon.) These unique dual index codes use 10 base pair codes. This change in base pair index codes require adjustments to the sequencing run setup.

Nextera DNA CD Indexes support up to 96-sample combinatorial dual indexing. The 24 CD Indexes are supplied in a tube format, and 96 in a plate format.

Related Notification

For whole-genome sequencing, Illumina DNA Prep is the recommended replacement for the Nextera DNA Library Prep Kit, which has been discontinued. If you were using Nextera DNA (Cat. No. FC-121-1030) or stand-alone components (Cat. Nos. 15027865 and 15027866) for ATAC-Seq** or other custom applications, the Illumina Tagment DNA TDE1 Enzyme and Buffer Kit is our suggested alternative.

Fast, Automation-friendly Workflow

Prepare libraries for Illumina sequencing in less than a day. Illumina Qualified Methods are available on a range of automation platforms through our partners.
