Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced a new product designed to address key challenges that laboratories encounter when preparing DNA sequencing libraries for their research. The new Agilent SureSelect XT HS2 DNA Kit represents the in library preparation and target enrichment, offering researchers a complete solution that allows them to choose workflow options that best suit their needs. Advantages of the new kit include: The ability to multiplex hundreds of samples in one sequencing run, which reduces sequencing costs for high-throughput labs. The ability to remove sample contamination as a result of index hopping from reads. Better error correction to detect variants with low allele frequencies (particularly important in cancer applications where the samples are often of varying tumor purity). The option to purchase Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI) beads and streptavidin beads as part of a complete kit.
