Bioo Scientific continues to expand its line of kits designed to increase the flexibility of next-generation sequencing library preparation with the launch of the Air DNA Fragmentation Kit.
The Air DNA Fragmentation Kit offers a cost-effective procedure for the fragmentation of genomic DNA in next-generation sequencing sample prep and has been optimised to physically shear uniform fragments of genomic DNA.
This fragmentation step is a critical first step for next-generation sequencing of genomic DNA.
The Air DNA Fragmentation Kit was developed in collaboration with Eureka Genomics, a San Francisco-based next-generation sequencing service provider that provides Illumina GAIIx sequencing and advanced bioinformatics analysis of sequence data.
Bioo Scientific claims that the Air DNA Fragmentation Kit fragments DNA more efficiently than traditional nebulisation protocols, offering 30 per cent greater DNA recovery than traditional fragmentation protocols.
This kit contains nebulisers, a proprietary fragmentation buffer and complete instructions.
It is designed to prepare libraries for either the Illumina/Solexa or the Roche 454 sequencing platform.
