Easily calculate library concentration with the online NGSBIO Library Quantification Tool
More Information
The NGSBIO Library Quant Kit offers a reliable qPCR-based method for the quantification of libraries prepared for Illumina® NGS systems. The kit includes 5 DNA standards, primers specific to the P5 and P7 Illumina® adapter sequences and qPCRBIO SyGreen Mix. The advanced qPCR buffer system has been developed using our high-throughput smart screen technology to ensure efficient amplification of all your libraries, including those that are GC or AT-rich. The kit is also supplied with a convenient library dilution buffer.
Accurate Library Quantification
qPCR is considered the best method for quantifying NGS libraries as it only measures adapter-bound molecules that can be used as templates for library amplification and cluster generation.
