  • Minimized adaptor-dimer contamination
  • High yields
  • Input RNA can be Total RNA
  • Suitable for methylated small RNAs (e.g. piRNAs) as well as unmethylated small RNAs

Product Information

Description



The novel NEBNext Small RNA workflow has been optimized to minimize adaptor-dimers while producing high-yield, high-diversity libraries. The NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep Set for Illumina® (Set 2) includes adaptors and multiplex primers with 12 indices, to enable multiplexing. Additional index primers for multiplexing are included in kits NEB #E7300 and NEB #E7560.

Each kit component must pass rigorous quality control standards, and each set of reagents is functionally validated together by construction and sequencing of indexed small RNA libraries on the Illumina sequencing platform.
