Product Description
Technical Specifications
| Amplicon Size | The final amplicon size after 1-Step PCR (targeted amplification and barcode addition) is ~388 bp. |
|---|---|
| Equipment Needed (user provided) | Microcentrifuge, plate spinner (centrifuge), 96-well real-time quantitative PCR system (SYBR Green compatible recommended), or standard PCR system, and 96-well real-time PCR plates. |
| Index Sequences | 10 bp indexes are listed in the MiSeq Sample Sheet Template provided. |
| Sample Input | Purified microbial DNA (≤100 ng), free of PCR inhibitors. |
| Sequencing Platform | Compatible with all Illumina® sequencing platforms using custom sequencing primers. We recommend the MiSeq® Reagent Kit v2 (300-cycle). |

Q1: What samples are compatible with this kit?
Purified total DNA from any organism free from PCR inhibitors. This system has been used by Zymo Research’s Microbiomics Services team to process samples from human, water, soil, food, plants, feces, biofilms, and much more.
Q2: What is the minimum DNA input for this kit?
The system has been tested with inputs as low as 100 femtograms with no significant impact to the performance of the kit.
Q3: Why does the kit use only a single PCR amplification step?
This single PCR step combines targeted amplification of the microbial genome and the barcoding index PCR, which allows for a simple and fast workflow.
Q4: How does the kit achieve normalization?
The combination of using Equalase qPCR Premix to yield roughly equal amounts of libraries and a carefully curated barcode index list results in similar raw sequencing reads across samples.
Q5: Why is the library amplicon size not well defined in DNA fragment analysis?
Equalase amplification and the library prep design may cause some library products to not anneal well, causing a lack of a tight band. These libraries are perfectly fine because preparation for Illumina sequencing includes denaturing libraries into single strands.
Q6: Why do I need to spike in custom sequencing primers?
This library has been designed to be sequenced using any 300-cycle reagent kit. The use of custom sequencing primers allows for a bit of overlap between reads when using Paired End sequencing, which improves the data quality.
