Automate DNA extraction and optimize your sample prep workflow for HiFi sequencing
PacBio® Nanobind® HT kits enable automation of DNA extraction, the first step of an end-to-end workflow that harnesses the power of HiFi sequencing. Nanobind HT kits are designed for whole human blood and mammalian cell samples and are compatible with four robotic platforms.
SRE SIZE SELECTION
- Deplete fragments from extracted DNA prior to library preparation
- Fast, easy, and inexpensive
- High recovery
SIMPLE SIZE SELECTIVE PRECIPITATION
- HMW DNA precipitated by centrifugation
- Low molecular weight (LMW) DNA is washed away
- Process many samples in parallel in 1 hour
- No proprietary equipment required for manual extraction
VARIABLE DEPLETION CUTOFF
- Progressive depletion begins at cutoff with depletion efficiency increasing as DNA gets shorter
- SRE XS depletes DNA <10 kb
- SRE depletes DNA <25 kb
- SRE XL depletes DNA <40 kb
Procedure & checklist
Removing short DNA fragments with the Short Read Eliminator (SRE) kit
This procedure describes the workflow for DNA size selection to remove molecules <10 kb using the SRE kit on high molecular weight (HMW) DNA before shearing and library preparation. The SRE kit is used for rapid size selection of unsheared HMW DNA samples. This method can significantly enhance mean read length by progressively depleting short DNA up to 10 kb.
