Revelo™ DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS

The Revelo DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS library preparation kit provides all the reagents for generating DNA-Seq libraries on the MagicPrep NGS system. This kit features a broad input range from 50 ng to 500 ng of prefragmented genomic DNA and UDI adaptors for flexible multiplexing. This kit together with the MagicPrep NGS system provides a fully automated solution for DNA-Seq library preparation with a 10 minute setup time.

The Revelo DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS kit was used to generate libraries from 100 ng of a pre-fragmented mix of three bacterial genomes with varying GC content (S. aureus (32% GC); E. coli (50% GC) and R. sphaeroides (68% GC)). The fraction of reads from each genome is similar to results using a manual workflow demonstrating a low GC bias during automated library construction.

High quality libraries from pre-fragmented DNA

  • Optimized workflow minimizes GC bias compared to standard manual protocols.
  • High fidelity PCR amplification minimizes the introduction of PCR-based errors.
  • Provides coverage and uniformity across the bacterial genome regardless of GC content.

What is library success rate?

MagicPrep NGS system is designed to provide a simple, reliable solution for automated library preparation. The MagicPrep NGS system was extensively tested to optimize the reagent formulation, automation script and consumables to minimize library failures.

MagicPrep NGS library construction success rate was tested using control samples using recommended input amounts and PCR cycles. Libraries were considered successful if the total library yield was greater or equal to 200 ng. Expected library size distribution was confirmed for all libraries using the Fragment Analyzer.

Library quality and success is impacted by the sample quality, the input amount and potential inhibitors in the sample. Samples with lower quality may see variable success rates.

Magic_Reliability-chart_final

>99% mean success rate*

The MagicPrep NGS system was used to generate libraries for Illumina sequencing using control samples A total of 59 runs (472 samples), a combination of both mRNA-Seq and DNA-Seq runs, were performed on over 10 different instruments. The mean library success rate was calculated for all runs regardless of application. Overall, the mean success rate for the MagicPrep NGS system is greater than 99%.

Library consistency

The MagicPrep NGS system provides consistent library construction within runs and between multiple runs. Forty libraries (5 runs), starting with 100 ng of K562 total RNA, were generated with the Revelo mRNA-Seq for MagicPrep NGS kit on a single instrument. The total yield of each library is graphed to demonstrate the consistency of library yields. Each run has a CV of between 5.8%-16.8%, indicating that the eight samples within each run have a consistent yield. Additionally, the library yields generated among all 5 runs are similar, demonstrating the consistency of the MagicPrep NGS system.

  • Cleaning solutions such as DNA OFF™ (MP Biomedicals, Cat. #11QD0500).

Q3. What methods do you recommend for DNA isolation?

We recommend a column-based extraction method. Some suggestions include: Qiagen QIAprep Spin Miniprep Kit, Zymo Quick-DNA kits, Thermo Fisher PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit. Users can consider any other kit of their choice as well.

Q4. Can I use phenol-chloroform based extractions for DNA isolation?

We do not recommend the use of these methods as any carry-over of organic solvents may inhibit downstream enzyme activity. If phenol-chloroform reagents are used, we recommend using a column-based purification of the DNA prior to input into the kit.

Q5. How much DNA do I need for library generation?

Revelo DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS can be used with 50 ng to 500 ng purified, high-quality DNA. Input amounts outside this range may affect reaction stoichiometry, resulting in sub-optimal libraries that produce variable and unsatisfactory results. Use of lower inputs or degraded samples will potentially produce insufficient yields depending on the requirements of the analytical platform.

Q6. Can I use Revelo DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS with DNA from any organism?

Revelo DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS has been tested with DNA inputs isolated from human and bacterial samples. However, any DNA sample should yield a sequenceable library. For more information, contact Tecan NGS Technical Support at techserv-gn@tecan.com.

Yes, the input DNA must be pre-fragmented prior to being used with this kit.

Q8. I don’t have access to a Covaris instrument. Can I use alternative frag-mentation methods?

We have evaluated only Covaris fragmented DNA during the development of MagicPrep NGS DNA-Seq. Other mechanical means of fragmentation, such as sonication, may be suitable. We also offer Revelo DNA-Seq Enz for MagicPrep NGS which features enzymatic fragmentation of high molecular weight genomic DNA.

Q9. Does Tecan provide reagents for performing the fragmentation step of the protocol?

Tecan does not provide the reagents used in the fragmentation steps. We suggest the Covaris instrument be utilized for DNA fragmentation.

Q10. Can I perform fewer than 8 preps at a time?

Revelo DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS performs 8 preps with every run. Empty positions will not produce libraries. Reagent cartridges and sample deck components cannot be reused.

Q11. Can I modify the number of PCR amplification cycles recommended by Revelo DNA-Seq Mech for MagicPrep NGS?

Brochure

Tecan’s MagicPrep NGS is a new type of automation solution for NGS library preparation that just works. Reimagined and redesigned, it offers a simple solution that anyone can use. Tecan’s MagicPrep NSG system comes with numerous benefits and features

Application Note

Next generation sequencing (NGS) is a standard tool in academic and clinical research. Since the original Illumina NGS platforms were introduced, there have been significant improvements in throughput, turnaround time and cost of NGS. The process for NGS library construction, however, has not significantly changed. While there have been some innovations, this process still follows the basic step of first and second strand cDNA synthesis (for RNA), end repair, adaptor ligation and PCR amplification.

Routine manual preparation of amplicon-based libraries can be burdensome to personnel, requiring at least 5 hours of assay time and allots only 0.5 hours of uninterrupted walkaway time. MagicPrep™ NGS is an ideal solution for saving time by automating the generation of amplicon-based libraries.

Tecan’s MagicPrep™ NGS system is a unique solution for fully automated preparation of NGS libraries. The system combines hardware, software, reagents, and consumables to provide a complete solution that just works. After an initial 10-minute setup, the user can walk away and come back to finished NGS libraries (Figure 1). The instrument simultaneously produces 8 libraries, providing an automated solution for sequencing library preparation for mid- to lowthroughput laboratories.

Poster

Routine manual preparation of genomic libraries is an arduous process taking up to ~5 to ~7.5 hours of personnel time. MagicPrep NGS is a hands-free, walkaway solution for saving time by automating the preparation of both DNA and RNA libraries.

Customer Applications

Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is a destructive disease caused by the fungal pathogen Cercospora beticola. In sugarbeets, it is one of the most problematic diseases as CLS reduces recoverable sugar content, and methods for controlling CLS are limited. Research on this fungal pathogen is of high importance due to its ability to quickly develop fungicide resistance. Scientists at the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service are focused on creating assays to detect fungicideresistant variants, as well as understanding the epidemiology, global diversity, and possible routes of transmission for CLS. These studies hope to provide insights into pathogen resistance for diagnostic purposes, and preventing continued spread of this disease.
