NEBNext® Primers for Epigenetics (Unique Dual Index Set 2B)


Catalog #E3392

Product Introduction

NEBNext® Primers for Epigenetics (Unique Dual Index Set 2B) includes 24 unique pairs of i5 and i7 index primers optimized for NEBNext epigenetics workflows, including NEBNext E5hmC-seq™, with Illumina® sequencing. The primers enable incorporation of unique index pairs during library amplification and have been designed to minimize index hopping.

  • Optimized for the NEBNext epigenetics workflows, including E5hmC-seq
  • Addresses the “barcode hopping” issue seen with some Illumina sequencing instruments
  • Increases sample identification specificity with unique dual index primer pairs

Product Information

Description

Indices are incorporated during PCR using these Unique Dual Index Primer Pairs that have been optimized for NEBNext epigenetics workflows, including E5hmC-seq. These primers enable multiplexing and have been designed to minimize index hopping. They are supplied as premixed i5 and i7 8-base index primers in 24 wells of a plate that has a pierceable foil seal for easy, single use.

The index sequences from the NEBNext Primers for Epigenetics (Unique Dual Index Set 2B)  (NEB #E3392S) and the 96-reaction NEBNext Primers for Epigenetics (Unique Dual Index Set 3) (NEB #E3404S) are compatible, and can be combined to multiplex up to 120 reactions.

Please refer to the NEBNext Enzymatic 5hmC-seq Kit manual (NEB #E3350) for use of the NEBNext Primers for Epigenetics.
