- Minimized bias across challenging regions for improved sequencing results
sparQ DNA Frag & Library Prep Kit is intended for molecular biology applications. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a disease.
Description
The sparQ DNA Frag & Library Prep Kit optimizes the integration of enzymatic fragmentation into a two-step protocol for the streamlined construction of libraries for sequencing on Illumina® NGS platforms. A single-tube enzyme mix facilitates the combination of fragmentation and DNA polishing minimizing DNA over fragmentation while greatly simplifying library. The streamlined workflow can be completed in under 3 hours with minimal hands-on time and can accommodate DNA input amounts from 1 ng to 1000 ng. DNA fragmentation and DNA polishing enzymes work together generating fragment sizes that are tunable and reproducible based on reaction time. Double-stranded DNA molecules are fragmented followed by DNA polishing reactions where 5'-phosphorylated and 3'-dA-tailed DNA fragments suitable for direct ligation of sequencing adapters are generated without the need for an intervening cleanup step. The HiFi PCR Master Mix and Primer Mix allow unbiased amplification of fragments with appropriate adapters ligated to both ends. PCR-Free workflows are enabled from 100 ng of starting material.
Streamlined workflow
sparQ DNA Frag& Library Prep workflow
sparQ DNA Frag & Library Prep workflow
The streamlined workflow utilizes a proprietary enzyme mix that integrates tunable and reproducible fragmentation with DNA polishing simplifying library construction. The same single reaction tube is used to proceed to adapter ligation and cleanup, minimizing sample transfer steps. A second tube is used for workflows requiring PCR amplification, and a final tube receives the sequencing-ready library.

Tunable fragmentation
Fragmentation tuning guide
Fragmentation tuning guide
Simply select the desired fragment size and input DNA amount. If input DNA falls between values displayed on the graph, an estimate can be used for optimizing fragmentation times.

- Adjusting fragmentation time generates selective DNA sizes
- Produce more usable library fragments in the target range with sharper size distribution curves

sparQ DNA Frag & Library Prep Kit is tunable to the desired fragment size. 100 ng Human gDNA was subjected to fragmentation with a series of incubation time points (3 – 18 min). After fragmentation, DNA samples were purified and then visualized using Agilent High Sensitivity DNA Kit.

Minimize bias and maintain genome diversity
Genome coverage analysis
Genome coverage analysis
Library prepared using sparQ DNA Frag & Library Prep Kit resulted in uniform coverage across the wide range of GC-content. Libraries were prepared using different DNA fragmentation and library preparation kits with 1 ng or 100 ng of microbial gDNA followed by sequencing on Illumina MiSeq. 2 million reads from each tested library were down-sampled and analyzed. Coverage uniformity against GC-content bias resulting from different DNA fragmentation and library preparation kits were compared by plotting normalized coverage for a wide GC-content.
<
>
- Low fragmentation and amplification bias enables better coverage uniformity
- Consistent coverage independent of input DNA amounts
- PCR-Free sequencing data correlates well with mechanical shearing results

Quality sequencing metrics and improved workflow economics
sparQ DNA Frag & Library Prep Kit generates high quality DNA libraries with minimal duplication artifacts. Libraries were prepared with 1 ng and 100 ng of microbial genomic DNA, amplified for 12 and 6 cycles respectively, 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.
<

- Industry leading sequencing results
- High mapped reads with minimal duplication rates
- Ensured return on sequencing investment
