Procedure
Prepare the Sample Library
Step 0: Sample Preparation
Using quantificaiton derived from the Qubit, dilute gDNA to 10 ng/µl with a minimum volume of 7µL in 10 mM Tris-HCl.
Safe stopping point, store at -20˚C
Step 1: Fragmentation and A-Tailing
Transfer gDNA into strip tube or 96 well plate.
Vortex the FragTail ReadyMix well and centrifuge briefly.
Assemble each Fragmentation and A-tailing reaction on ice as follows:
Component
Volume Per Individual Sample
70 ng DNA
7 μL
FragTail ReadyMix
5 μL
Total
12 μL
Mix each Fragmentation and A-tailing reaction thoroughly and centrifuge briefly. Return the plate/tube(s) on ice and proceed immediately to the next step.
Incubate in a thermocycler, pre-cooled to +4°C and programmed as outlined below. Set the lid temperature to ~ +65°C .
a. Pre-cool block: +4°C
b. Fragmentation: +37°C - See table below
c. A-tailing: +55°C for 30 minutes
d. Hold: +4°C

Step 2: Adapter Ligation
Transfer the reaction on ice and proceed to Adapter Ligation.
Vortex the Ligation ReadyMix well and centrifuge briefly and the following in the specified order:
a. Add 1 µL of a unique KAPA UDI Adapter to each tube/well containing sample from the previous step.
b. Add 2 µL of the Ligation ReadyMix to each tube/well containing 12 µL sample and 1 µL KAPA UDI Adapter, resulting in a total volume of 15 µL.

c. Mix the ligation reaction thoroughly and centrifuge.
d. Incubate the ligation reaction at +20°C on a thermocycler for 15 minutes.
e. Following the incubation, proceed immediately to the next step.
Step 3: Purify the Sample Library using KAPA HyperPure Beads
To each ligation reaction, add 12 μL of room temperature KAPA HyperPure Beads that have
been thoroughly resuspended.

15 μL
KAPA HyperPure Beads
12 μL

27 μL
Once added, mix thoroughly and centrifuge briefly.
Incubate the sample at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the sample library to bind to the beads.
Place the sample on a magnet to capture the beads. Incubate until the liquid is clear.
Carefully remove and discard the supernatant.
Keeping the sample on the magnet, add 40 μL of freshly-prepared 80% ethanol.
Incubate the sample at room temperature for ≥30 seconds.
Carefully remove and discard the ethanol.
Keeping the sample on the magnet, add 40 μL of freshly-prepared 80% ethanol.
Incubate the sample at room temperature for ≥30 seconds.
Carefully remove and discard the ethanol. Remove residual ethanol without disturbing the
beads.
Allow the beads to dry at room temperature, sufficiently for all the ethanol to evaporate.
Remove the sample from the magnet.
Thoroughly resuspend the beads in 25 µL (or appropriate volume) of nuclease free water.
Incubate the sample at room temperature for 2 minutes to allow the sample library to elute off the beads.
Place the sample on the magnet to collect the beads. Incubate until the liquid is clear.
Transfer an appropriate volume of the eluate to a fresh tube/well.
Move samples to a appropriate speed vac and dry to completion.
Resuspend in 4 µL 10mM Tris-HCl.
Proceed immediately to amplify the sample library.
Amplify the Sample Library
Step 1: Prepare the Library Amplification Reaction
Assemble each library amplification reaction as follows:
Component
Volume Per Individual Library
2X HiFi Hotstart ReadyMix
5 μL
10X Illumina Library Amplification Primer Mix
1 μL
Adapter-ligated Library
4 μL
Total
10 μL
Mix thoroughly and centrifuge briefly. Immediately proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Perform the library Amplification
Place the sample in the thermocycler and amplify the adapter-ligated library using the following Library
Amplification program with the lid temperature set to +105°C:
a. Step 1: 45 seconds at +98°C
b. Step 2: 15 seconds at +98°C
c. Step 3: 30 seconds at +60°C
d. Step 4: 30 seconds at +72°C
e. Step 5: Go to Step 2, repeat 4x
f. Step 6: 1 minute at +72°C
g. Step 7: Hold at +4°C
