New NEBNext® Reagents from New England Biolabs Lower the Cost of Sample Preparation for mRNA Next Generation Sequencing

IPSWICH, Mass., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- New England Biolabs (NEB) has expanded its line of reagents for sample preparation upstream of next generation sequencing with the introduction of NEBNext® mRNA Sample Prep Reagent Set 1 and Master Mix Set 1. These new products include enzymes, buffers and protocols for the conversion of purified mRNA to DNA, followed by library construction. The reagents are suitable for non-directional mRNA library preparation for Illumina® sequencing using the GAIIx, GAIIe and HiSeq™2000 instruments, as well as for the preparation of expression libraries. Both sets provide substantial cost savings, and the master mix set further streamlines the workflow by reducing the number of vials and pipetting steps.
