Are there Ion Torrent fragment library kits available for use with my AB Library Builder System?

The currently available kits for the AB Library Builder System instrument includes:

- Ion Plus Library Kit for AB Library Builder System (Cat. No. 4477597)
- Ion Xpress Plus Library Kit for AB Library Builder System (Cat. No. 4477598).

Both kits require the use of the separately available Ion Plus Fragment Library Adapters Kit (Cat. No. 4476340) or the Ion Xpress Barcode Adapters kits and the Ion Plus and Ion Xpress Plus Protocol Card for AB Library Builder System (Cat. No. 4477687).

I would like to perform Next-Generation sequencing but my final library yield is poor. What are some tips for improving my yield?

In addition to input RNA quality and accurate quantification, the clean-up and size selection steps are critical to generating a successful RNA-Seq library.

- Be sure to mix the nucleic acid binding beads well before dispensing, and follow the workflow and incubation times as closely as possible.
- Use fresh ethanol and pre-wet pipette tips prior to transferring ethanol, as the volume is critical for size selection.
- Remove residual ethanol before elution using a small-volume pipette. Do not over-dry or under-dry the beads.

I want to prepare a DNA fragment library for Next-Generation sequencing. Which library preparation kit and protocol should I use?

We recommend using the Ion Torrent Ion Xpress Plus Fragment Library Kit (Cat. No. 4471269) for preparing libraries using the Ion Shear enzymatic shearing method, or the Ion Plus Fragment Library Kit (Cat. No. 4471252) if using physical fragmentation. The protocol for both library kits is included in the Ion Xpress Plus gDNA Fragment Library Preparation User Guide (Pub. No. 4471989). Please also refer to the Decision Tree for DNA Sequencing on the Ion PGM System and the Decision Tree for the Ion Proton System for more information.
