Overview
KAPA HiFi Kits are a family of kits that all contain the same core, engineered KAPA HiFi DNA Polymerase enzyme, formulated for both NGS and PCR applications. KAPA HiFi has become the enzyme of choice for NGS library amplification due to its ability to amplify complex DNA populations with ultra-high fidelity, high efficiency and low amplification bias. This results in lower duplication rates and improved coverage of GC- and AT-rich regions, promoters, low-complexity and other challenging regions. These kits are offered in an easy-to-use ReadyMix or component format, to provide flexibility and convenience.
Benefits of KAPA Library Amplification Kits
Higher and more uniform coverage with lower dropout of difficult regions
Higher yields, low duplication rates and fewer wasted sequencing reads
Higher success rates with different sample types/applications
Convenience with the consistency of one core enzyme
Trusted as shown through over 10 years in the industry as well as thousands of peer-reviewed publications
Product highlights
Reduced bias and efficient amplification of GC- and AT-rich genomes
Improved representation of all library fragments and sequence regions
Fewer cycles to achieve equivalent yields due to higher amplification efficiency
