Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Library preparation solutions
APPLICATION KEY
Human Diagnostics
Genetic Screening
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomic research with its throughput, scalability and speed. The applications of NGS in clinical diagnostics are rapidity expanding, particularly in the fields of oncology, microbiology and clinical genetics. In order to be used successfully as a diagnostic tool, data generated by NGS must be reliable and accurate. One of the factors that significantly impacts the quality of NGS data is the quality and quantity of the library loaded on the sequencer flow cell. A poor-quality library can skew results with uneven coverage or poor yield, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the sequencing. Meridian offers a range of NGS library preparation solutions compatible with automated workflows for achieving optimal sequencing output.
High-Specificity Pfu HS Mix
A high-fidelity DNA polymerase with aptamer-based hot-start technology highly suited to target enrichment, NGS library amplification, and cloning applications. High-Specificity Pfu HS Mix provides high yield and sensitivity, as well as superior amplification of GC- and AT-rich targets. The hot-start aptamer binds reversibly to the polymerase which inhibits its activity at ambient temperatures and improves the specificity of the amplification.
Product Highlights • Aptamer hot-start for increased specificity • Inhibitor-tolerant (tolerates up to 20%whole blood) • Robust amplification across different GC-content (29% - 65%) • High-fidelity reduces errors for NGS library amplification • Convenient room temperature reaction set-up • Suitable for multiplexing

Libraries were prepared from 100 ng (amplified libraries) or 1 μg (PCR-free library) of genomic DNA from S. aureus and R. spheroides , mixed equimolarly. End-repair and ligation steps were carried out using Meridian NGS ER Enzyme Mix (MDX040) and NGS Ligase (MDX037) for all the samples. Library amplification consisted of 10 PCR cycles using High-Specificity Pfu HS Mix (MDX006) or supplier K mix, following the manufacturer’s recommendations. GC bias plots were generated, with %GC content of 100 bp windows on the X axis. Normalized coverage is indicated for the High-Specificity Pfu HS Mix (blue line) and

Library clean-up & size selection
Efficient removal of primers and adapters
Paramagnetic SPRI beads designed for clean-up and size selection of DNA fragments or NGS libraries. Paramagnetic beads selectively bind DNA fragments based on the volume ratio of bead suspension and sample. They are capable of delivering highly purified DNA fragments, efficiently removing contaminants, such as nucleotides, primers, adapters, enzymes, buffer additives and salts.
