Collibri Physically Sheared DNA Library Preparation Kits

Reduce bias in genomic interpretation

Coverage of challenging regions by the Invitrogen Collibri Physically Sheared (PS) DNA Library Prep Kits for high-throughput Illumina Systems is consistently even among low abundance (1 ng) and high abundance (1,000 ng) samples. This helps to ensure higher accuracy from high-throughput sequencing compared to older library prep methods from Illumina™, NEB™, or Kapa Biosystems™ kits. Unique Dual Indexes (UDIs) are available for 24 or 96 reactions to filter index-hopped reads on patterned flow cells.

Call variants with confidence

Consistently even GC coverage by the Collibri PS DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina Systems and Collibri PCR-Free PS DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina Systems enhances detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (INDELs) with consistency from 1 to 1,000 ng of DNA. Sensitivity of detection is increased compared to older library prep methods.

Enhanced coverage of challenging regions, even from FFPE samples

Consistently even GC coverage produces higher coverage of difficult genomic regions, resulting in more even whole-genome coverage. Enhanced coverage of challenging genomic regions is consistent from 1 to 1,000 ng.

Figure 2. 100 ng of Horizon™ moderate damage FFPE DNA was converted into sequencing libraries using the manufacturer recommended protocols and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 system with a 2x150 bp read length. Resulting pass filter (PF) reads were normalized to 186 m reads.

PCR is a Choice

Adaptor addition in the Collibri PS DNA Library Prep kits does not require PCR, and PCR-free protocols are available for 500–1,000 ng. Library yield, as measured by the Collibri Library Quantification Kit, from 500 ng of input DNA produces sufficient yield to complete quantification and multiple runs on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 system.

Whole-genome library preparation workflow

Genomic DNA extraction

We offer a range of Invitrogen genomic DNA extraction kits for sensitive, scalable purification from an expansive set of starting materials to help maximize process efficiency and downstream performance. This includes a broad range of kits for purifying genomic DNA from a variety of samples including tissue, cells, blood, serum, plants, forensic samples, and more.

Automate DNA extraction using magnetic bead-based technology and KingFisher instruments to bind, wash, and elute DNA to reduce your hands-on time while maintaining high yields and excellent reproducibility.

Quantification options to scale throughput

The qPCR-based Collibri Library Quantification kit scales well for larger sample batches and is the ideal method for precious samples or clinical samples. Quantification accuracy is equivalent to the KAPA Library Quantification kit with the additional benefit of visual feedback during the quantification process.

The Qubit dsDNA HS Assay is a fluorometric assay that uses dsDNA-binding dyes in order to accurately determine NGS library concentration, and benefits from a simple workflow of just a few minutes per sample. 

Regardless of the assay that is chosen, good laboratory technique should be used in order to ensure accurate measurement of library concentrations and high-quality Illumina sequencing data.
