IonCode Barcode Adapters 385-768 are 384 unique barcode adapters designed for optimal performance with Ion Torrent semiconductor sequencers. This set includes IonCode Barcode Adapters 0501-0596, 0601-0696, 0701-0796, and 0801-0896. When used in combination with other IonCode barcode adapters and the AgriSeq HTS Library Kit, users can pool up to 768 amplicon libraries and then conduct multiplexed sequencing analysis, which helps increase lab efficiency and reduce sequencing costs per sample.

Key product features:
• Robust barcodes ligate efficiently and uniformly to generate balanced representation of libraries
• Unbiased performance enables identical genotypes independent of barcode used
• Robust error correction built in by design for added confidence in sample identification

Increase sample multiplexing without impacting data quality
Multiplexing with barcoded libraries enables more cost effective runs by permitting up to 768 samples per run, and helps significantly decrease the cost and handling requirements of sequencing. Each barcode was individually evaluated to verify no bias of sequence context representation. The barcodes were also screened for equivalent efficiency to verify balanced read depth between libraries. Regardless of the specific barcode used, AgriSeq targeted genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) generates highly uniform libraries and concordant genotype calls (see figures below).
