The Library Quantification Kit is used for rapid library quantification prior to Illumina next-generation sequencing. The kit contains all of the components needed to determine the amount of library DNA (genomic, cDNA, etc.) in a sample using qPCR. Quantification is accomplished by comparison of the threshold cycle (Ct) of the diluted sample with a standard curve derived from four calibrated DNA standards.

The SMARTer-Seq Magnetic Separator - PCR Strip is designed especially for separation of magnetic beads (like AMPure XP beads; Beckman Coulter), from solution. This stand holds up to 24 0.2-ml PCR tubes in two rows, and is designed for capture of magnetic beads in 10–20 minutes. It is ideally suited for magnetic bead-based DNA purification and size selection techniques as used with most of our products for next-generation sequencing.
