EPICENTRE's revolutionary Nextera™ technology* uses in vitro transposition to prepare sequencer-ready libraries from genomic DNA for multiple sequencing platforms. The technology simultaneously fragments and tags DNA, in a single-tube reaction.

  • Use nanogram amounts of starting DNA.
  • Prepare sequencer-ready libraries in less than 2 hours.
  • Incorporate platform-specific tags and optional barcodes.
  • Validated on Roche 454™ GS FLX and GS FLX Titanium™, and Illumina Solexa® GAI, GAII.
