This product was formerly named Nextera DNA Flex.
Before preparing libraries, record information about your samples using an option available for your sequencing system.
This kit is compatible with Nextera DNA CD Indexes and IDT for Illumina DNA/RNA UD Indexes.
The following table provides the recommended read lengths for sequencing on Illumina systems with Nextera CD Indexes (8 bp).
Sequencing System | Read Length |
HiSeq 2500, HiSeq 2000 (high output) | 2 x 126 |
HiSeq 2500 (rapid run) | 2 x 101 |
All others | 2 x 151 |
The following table provides the recommended number of cycles for sequencing on Illumina systems with IDT for Illumina DNA/RNA UD Indexes (10 bp).
For the MiniSeq and NextSeq 500/550 Systems, the reagent cartride RFIDs encode a maximum number of cycles. The maximum value does not allow the full read length for Read 1 and Read 2 when each Index Read requires 10 cycles. Therefore, sequencing the full read length requires subtracting two cycles each from Read 1 and Read 2.
Sequencing System | Read 1 | Index 1 | Index 2 | Read 2 |
iSeq 100, MiSeq (v2/v3), HiSeq 2500/3000/4000, NovaSeq 6000 |
