Norgen Biotek™ ITS3-ITS4 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina

The ITS2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the fungal target ITS2 libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XPMagneticBeads(supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.

The ITS2 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the ITS2 region of the fungal DNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XPbeads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5' and 3' barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XPbeads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.
