Product Highlights

Illumina DNA PCR-Free Library Prep offers flexibility for many whole-genome sequencing applications.

  • Fast, automatable workflow, with ~1.5 hours total time
  • Flexibility to accommodate variations in sample type, DNA input amount, and application
  • Optimized library prep performance, generating reliable results

Save Time and Resources
The Illumina DNA PCR-Free Library Prep Kit uses a fast, user-friendly workflow. On-Bead Tagmentation chemistry reduces total library prep time to ~1.5 hours, from DNA extraction to library normalization.

Simplify Lab Operations
The Illumina DNA PCR-Free workflow supports a broad DNA input range (25 ng to 300 ng), multiple sample types, and both small and large genomes. The workflow includes DNA extraction from blood, saliva, or dried blood spots.

You can use liquid-handling robots to automate workflows for minimal touch points and significant time savings.

Obtain Reliable Results
While accommodating various study requirements, the Illumina DNA PCR-Free workflow delivers consistent insert sizes, uniform coverage, and optimized performance, regardless of DNA input amount or genome size. The bead-based technology minimizes bias and opportunities for error, delivering accurate base calling and variant identification for a broad range of DNA input amounts.

Access Flexible Throughput Options
The Illumina - DNA/RNA UD Indexes Sets A, B, C, and D Indexes offer up to 384 unique dual indexing that enables accurate assignment of reads and efficient use of the flow cell. These unique dual index codes use 10 base pair codes. This change in base pair index codes require adjustments to the sequencing run setup.

Fast, Automation-friendly Workflow
Prepare libraries for Illumina sequencing in less than a day. Illumina Qualified Methods are available on a range of automation platforms through our partners.

Case Studies

Optimizing WGS workflows

Dr. Pietro Cattaneo and Dr. Cédric Howald from the Health 2030 Genome Center discuss their experience incorporating IGA and Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep in their workflows and how deploying these solutions has enabled them to meet the demands of their large-scale WGS projects.

Illumina DNA PCR-Free coverage uniformity

The Illumina DNA PCR-Free Library Prep Kit provides superior read coverage across the GC-rich promoter region of the human RNPEPL1 gene, as compared to TruSeq DNA PCR-Free and TruSeq DNA Nano Library Prep Kits. Read maps were visualized with the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) App, available in BaseSpace Sequence Hub.

Comparison of read coverage across GC-rich regions

Illumina DNA PCR-Free libraries prepared from a range of DNA inputs demonstrate (A) passing quality specifications for all DNA inputs and (B) equivalent callability performance. Q30 score = an inferred base call accuracy of 99.9%, autosome callability = the percentage of non-N reference positions in autosomal chromosomes with a passing genotype call, exon callability = the percentage of non-N reference positions in exons with a passing genotype call, SNPs = single nucleotide polymorphisms, indel = insertion-deletion mutation, precision (accuracy) = calculated as the ratio of [# of True Positive Calls/(# of True Positive Calls + # of False Positive Calls)], recall (sensitivity) = calculated as the ratio of [# of True Positive Calls/(# of True Positive Calls + # of False Negative Calls)]. Note: the lower limit sample input specifications for Illumina DNA PCR-Free have not been finalized.
