  • Place the sample on the thermal cycler to preform adapter ligation.


30 ◦C for 10 minutes


  • Remove samples from thermal cycler. Add 5μL of STL to each sample to
    inactivate the ligation. Gently pipette the entire volume up and down 10
    times to mix thoroughly.

  • Vortex the AMPure XP beads until they are well dispersed, then add
    42 μL of well-mixed AMPure XP beads to each sample containing 42.5μL
    of sample. Gently pipette the entire volume up and down 10 times to mix
    thoroughly.

  • Incubate the sample at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  • Centrifuge briefly and place the sample on magnetic stand at room
    temperature for 5 minutes to make sure that all beads are bound to the
    side of the wells.

  • Remove and discard 79.5μL of supernatant from each sample.


Note: Leave the sample tubes on the magnetic stand while performing all the following
80% EtOH wash steps.


  • With the sample remaining on the magnetic stand, add 200μLoffreshly
    prepared 80% EtOH to each sample without disturbing the beads.

  • Incubate the sample at room temperature for 30 seconds, then remove
    and discard all of the supernatant from each well.

  • Repeat the 80% EtOH wash steps twice.

  • Open the lid and let the sample tube stand at room temperature for
    15 minutes to dry and then remove the sample from the magnetic
    stand.

  • Add 52.5μL RSB to each sample. Gently pipette the entire volume up
    and down 10 times to mix thoroughly.

  • Incubate the sample at room temperature for 2 minutes.

  • Centrifuge briefly and place the sample on the magnetic stand at room
    temperature for 5 minutes.

  • Transfer 50μL of the clear supernatant to a new PCR tube.

  • Vortex the AMPure XP beads until they are well dispersed, then add
    50 μL of well-mixed AMPure XP beads to each sample containing 50μL
    of sample. Gently pipette the entire volume up and down 10 times to mix
    thoroughly.

  • Incubate the sample at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  • Centrifuge briefly and place the sample on magnetic stand at room
    temperature for 5 minutes to make sure that all beads are bound to the
    side of the wells.

  • Remove and discard 95μL of supernatant from each sample.
