  TruSeq DNA PCR-Free TruSeq DNA Nano Nextera DNA Nextera DNA Flex
Intended Use Leverages a workflow similar to TruSeq DNA, but without PCR. Is a simple, all-inclusive prep for whole genome sequencing with the industry best genome coverage and ability to sequence through challenging regions of the genome. A low-input method that delivers high genome coverage quality and reduced bias. A fast and easy workflow delivering sequencing-ready results in 90 minutes. Illumina’s fastest and easiest workflow from sample to normalized library
