Designed for use in library prep for DNA, ChIP DNA and RNA (but not Small RNA), the NEBNext Adaptors enable high-efficiency adaptor ligation and high library yields, with minimized adaptor-dimer formation.

• High efficiency adaptor ligation
• Minimized adaptor-dimer formation
• Includes index primers for library multiplexing
• Convenient 96-well plate format with pierceable foil seal
• Includes USER Enzyme

Incorporating a novel hairpin loop structure, the NEBNext Adaptor ligates with increased efficiency to end-repaired, dA-tailed DNA. The loop contains a U, which is removed by treatment with USER Enzyme (a combination of UDG and Endo VIII), to open up the loop and make it available as a substrate for PCR. During PCR, barcodes can be incorporated by use of the NEBNext index primers, thereby enabling multiplexing. The 96 8-base index primers included in this kit are pre-mixed with the universal primer and are packaged in a single-use 96-well plate with a pierceable foil seal. NEBNext Oligos can be used with NEBNext products, and with other standard Illumina-compatible library preparation protocols.
