The Multiplexing Index Primers contain primer mix for multiplexing library samples for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) on the illumina platform. Multiplexing of NGS library samples will reduce sequencing costs by pooling multiple NGS libraries into a single flow cell lane.
With library multiplexing, unique index sequence is added to individual sample during NGS library preparation. Therefore, each DNA molecule can be identified after pooling of multiple samples based on the index information they have.
Each of our index primers contains a unique index sequence with 6 bases that can be used to identify libraries. Library multiplexing up to 48 samples is possible.
