Optimized to address the challenges of FFPE DNA samples
Archiving of clinical materials as Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) samples is a common practice. However, the methods used for fixation and storage severely damage the nucleic acids from these samples. Additionally, FFPE DNA samples are often available in only very small amounts (e.g., a microns-thick tissue section or a region of interest from a laser-capture microdissection). As a result, it can be challenging to construct high quality libraries in sufficient quantity to achieve good sequence data at the desired depth of coverage. FFPE DNA repair is an essential step towards obtaining high-quality libraries from formalin fixed cells and tissues.

NEBNext UltraShear FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit
The NEBNext UltraShear FFPE DNA Library Prep Kit is the newest option for high-quality library preparation from FFPE-treated samples. This kit incorporates enzymatic fragmentation of FFPE DNA using NEBNext UltraShear, a new enzyme mix optimized for use with FFPE DNA that increases library yields and quality, while improving scalability and ease of use. The kit also repairs damage to DNA caused by the FFPE process and includes reagents and a protocol optimized for library prep of FFPE DNA. The workflow is streamlined and user-friendly, with minimal hands-on time, and the kit improves yields and quality of libraries from a range of FFPE DNA sample input (5-250 ng) and quality.
