A unique combination of on-bead tagmentation with a PCR-free workflow in a single, rapid reaction.

Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep coverage uniformity

The Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep provides uniform coverage across a range of GC content in the human genome.

Comparison of read coverage across GC-rich regions

The Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep kit provides superior read coverage across the GC-rich promoter region of the human RNPEPL1 gene, as compared to TruSeq DNA PCR-Free and TruSeq DNA Nano Library Prep Kits.

Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep performance across a range of DNA inputs

Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep libraries prepared from a range of DNA inputs demonstrate (A) passing quality specifications for all DNA inputs and (B) equivalent callability performance.

Increased insert size with additional bead purification

An additional round of bead purification results in increased insert sizes (gray and yellow lines), as compared to the unmodified protocol (blue and orange lines).
