Tab 04 / Reliability
***************************************************************************************
***************************************************************************************
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.
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%.
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.

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.

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.
