Library Preparation for Ion Torrent

The standard library preparation workflow for Ion Torrent DNA sequencing includes end repair of the 3′ and 5′ ends, adaptor ligation, size-selection of adaptor-ligated molecules, and PCR amplification. Libraries prepared in this manner are suitable for template preparation, the next step in the Ion Torrent sequencing workflow. 

Refer to the DNA Preparation Workflow for Ion Torrent tab below for a graphic illustration of the steps. 

NEBNext® reagents are available for Ion Torrent DNA library preparation, with or without enzyme-based fragmentation. Each of these reagents has been functionally validated by preparation of a genomic DNA library followed by Ion Torrent sequencing. For representative results of both library construction using NEBNext and Ion Torrent run results, choose the tabs below.
