Library preparation

Introduction to Library Preparation

A key element of Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) is high-quality library preparation. Illumina library prep protocols can accommodate a range of throughput needs, from lower-throughput protocols for small laboratories to fully automated library preparation workstations for large laboratories or genome centers.

Illumina offers comprehensive sequencing library preparation solutions for a wide variety of NGS methods, including whole-genome sequencing, targeted DNA sequencing, whole-transcriptome sequencing, targeted RNA sequencing, and more. These solutions support a variety of sample types, from cell lines to fresh tissue, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, blood, and other challenging sample types.

Kits for NGS Library Preparation

Illumina offers an extensive assortment of easy-to-use next-gen sequencing library preparation kits for DNA, RNA, and epigenetic sequencing studies. To find the right kit for your needs, use the selection tool below, or view a filterable list of library prep kits.

Walk-Away NGS Library Prep

The NeoPrep Library Prep System radically simplifies preparation of next-generation sequencing libraries by significantly decreasing the number of steps, improving reproducibility, and greatly reducing hands-on time.
