Do libraries constructed with the Ion Xpress Barcode adapters require balancing to help ensure equal representation on the Ion PGM or Proton instrument sequencing run?

No, the Ion Xpress Barcode adapters are designed with a 3 bp adapter sequence (GAT) at the 3' end of each barcode to help minimize adapter ligation bias. When pooling barcoded libraries, accurate library quantification is extremely important to help ensure even barcode representation on the sequencing run.

How many fragment or amplicon libraries can be made per barcode with the Ion Xpress Barcode Adapters kits?

The Ion Xpress Barcode Adapters kits are available as a set of 96 (Cat. No. 4474517) or in sets of 16 (Cat. Nos.4471250, 4474009, 4474518, 4474519, 4474520 or 4474521). Each barcode kit is sufficient for preparing ? 10 libraries per barcode (10 x 16 libraries or 10 x 96 libraries) for 100 ng input, or 2 libraries per barcode for 1 µg input.

How many samples can I multiplex on a single chip for sequencing on the Ion PGM or Proton System?

The number of samples that can be multiplexed in a single sequencing run depends on the capacity of the chip, the size of the library, and the required coverage. A table of approximate capacities based on the size of the library and chip can be found in the Ion Ampliseq Preparation User Guide (https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/MAN0006735_AmpliSeq_DNA_RNA_LibPrep_UG.pdf) within the section “Strategies for combining Ion Ampliseq libraries.”
