Template Preparation and Multiplexing Kits

The SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0 supports insert sizes from 500 bp to >50 kb. This kit employs a single-tube, addition-only strategy to minimize handling-induced DNA damage for library generation in 4 hours. We recommend this kit for large-insert gDNA libraries for de novo whole genome sequencing, and multiplexed microbial genome sequencing. Currently, the kit has not been optimized for preparing templates for Iso-Seq analysis, and is not recommended for this application. The kit is designed for diffusion loading only and is currently only compatible with the Sequel System.

Each kit contains sufficient reagents to prepare 18, 48, and 96 reactions to respectively support large-insert libraries, microbial multiplexing, and amplicon sequencing.

Note: Amplicon solutions accompanying this kit will be available in Summer 2019.

The SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit has an approximate 3-hour hands on workflow from sheared gDNA to SMRTbell templates. The kit is optimized for generating size-selected, long-insert libraries (>15 kb and >30 kb size-selection) for use with diffusion loading on the Sequel System. For amplicon sequencing and libraries with templates averaging <15 kb, including libraries for Iso-Seq analysis we recommend the SMRTbell Template Prep Kit 1.0-SPv3 (PN: 100-991-900).

Reagents quantities support the preparation of 16 SMRTbell libraries.

Note: This product has been discontinued and will be made available while supplies last.

The Barcoded Overhang Adapter Kit – 8A/8B are used in conjuntion with the SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0 (PN 100-938-900) for multiplexed microbial multiplexing sequencing. The kits can be combined to perform up to 16-plex of pooled microbial genomes. We recommend pooling up to 30 MB of total microbial genomes per SMRT Cell to obtain highly contiguous microbial genome assemblies, and up to 40 MB for advanced users.The specific barcodes contained in this kit are as follows for the respective kits:8A: bc1001, bc1002, bc1003, bc1008, bc1009, bc1010, bc1011, bc1012. 8B: bc1015, bc1016, bc1017, bc1018, bc1019, bc1020, bc1021, bc1022.

Each kit contains 8 barcoded overhang adapters with sufficient reagents to perform 6 ligation reactions for each barcode to support multiplexed microbial genome sequencing, or 12 reactions for amplicon sequencing.

The Barcoded Adapter Kit- 8A (PN: 101-081-300) and Barcoded Adapter Kit- 8B (PN: 101-081-400) each contain 8 blunt-ended barcoded adapters for ligating barcoded SMRTbell adapters onto gDNA, and Sequencing Primer v4 for diffusion loading. Using both kits (sold separately), up to 16 SMRTbell libraries can be pooled and loaded onto the Sequel System.Up to 30 Mb of microbial genomes can be multiplexed on a single SMRT Cell. For high-performing centers with large-volume microbial sequencing and optimized workflows, up to 40 Mb of microbial genomes can be accommodated.Recommended for use with SMRTbell Template Prep Kit 1.0-SPv3 (PN: 100-991-900) and diffusion loading.

Each kit includes 8 Barcoded Adapter tubes containing reagent quantities that support 6 ligation reactions per barcode.

The Barcoded Universal F/R Primers Plate -96 contains a 96-well plate of barcoded forward and reverse primers. Each well on the plate contains a unique primer pair consisting of a forward and reverse primer of the same barcode. These barcode sequences are incorporated with amplicons via a 2-step PCR process where primer pairs designed to specific targets have also been tagged with a universal sequence compatible with the Barcoded Universal F/R Primers Plate - 96. Subsequently, standard SMRTbell adapters are ligated to these barcoded amplicons.

Reagent quantities support a single use of each of the 96 primers pairs in library preparations.
