QuantaBio/sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit/5 mL/sparQLibraryPrep

• Fast, easy single-tube solution completes library prep in 2.5 hours
• Suitable for a wide range of input amounts from as low as 250 pg
• Optimized chemistry ensuring superior library prep sensitivity and efficiency
• Higher library yields compared to other library prep kits
• High efficiency enables PCR-free workflow from 100 ng input

sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit is intended for molecular biology applications. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a disease.

sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit is optimized for the rapid construction of DNA libraries from fragmented double-stranded DNA for sequencing on Illumina® NGS platforms. The simplified protocol speeds up library prep to 2.5 hours with minimal hands-on time and accommodates DNA input amounts from 250 pg to 1 μg. DNA polishing reactions are streamlined into a single step to convert fragmented DNA into 5"-phosphorylated and 3"-dA-tailed DNA fragments. This is followed by high efficiency adapter ligation in the same tube. PCR-free workflows are enabled from 100 ng of starting material. If library amplification is required, the HiFi PCR Master Mix and Primer Mix ensure even amplification with minimal bias.

Higher library yields

sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit produces high quality libraries from a broad range of DNA inputs with significantly higher yields. Libraries were prepared with Covaris-sheared human genomic DNA (250 bp average size) using kit manufacturers’ instructions. Amplified libraries (6 PCR cycles for 100 ng input DNA and 13 PCR cycles for 1 ng input DNA) were quantified with Qubit fluorometric method.

Coverage across a wide range of GC-content

PCR-free (dark blue) and amplified libraries (orange) were prepared from 100 ng of microbial genomic DNA of different species using sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit. Libraries were sequenced on Illumina MiSeq and 2 million sequencing reads from each library was analyzed. Coverage uniformity was examined by plotting normalized coverages of the library against GC-content of the targeted genome. GC-content distribution of targeted genomes is indicated by gray line. Both PCR-free and amplified libraries resulted in uniform coverage across a wide range of GC-content..

Higher quality sequencing metrics

sparQ DNA Library Prep Kit generates high quality DNA libraries with minimal duplication rates. Libraries were prepared with 1 ng and 100 ng of microbial genomic DNA and subsequently sequenced on Illumina MiSeq. Each library was down-sampled to 2 million reads (150 bp paired-end reads) and aligned to a reference genome with only unique alignments reported.
