Overview

Illumina Cell-Free DNA Prep with Enrichment is a highly sensitive library preparation solution to detect low-abundance mutations from cfDNA samples. The workflow includes unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) for error correction and reduction of false positives, enabling accurate and sensitive detection of low-frequency mutations.

Fast, flexible format

Illumina Cell-Free DNA Prep with Enrichment is compatible with user-supplied enrichment oligo nucleotides from Illumina or third-party vendors, including single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) from Twist Bioscience, for enhanced content portability. The kit accommodates 55-2000Kb (ssDNA) and 70-2000Kb(dsDNA) panel content, enabling flexible study design. Sequencing-ready libraries are prepared in ~8.5–9.5 hours, with only ~2.5-3 hours of hands-on time, enabling researchers to go from extracted cfDNA to sequencing in a single day. Recommended read length for NextSeq 550 is 2 × 149 bp and for NextSeq 2000 and NovaSeq 6000, it is 2 × 151 bp.

High-performance library prep

Illumina Cell-Free DNA Prep with Enrichment detects low-frequency variants, including SNVs, CNVs, Indels as variants, and gene fusions. The kit identifies small variants with allele frequencies as low as 0.2% from only 20 ng cfDNA with ≥90% sensitivity.

Streamlined sample-to-results workflow

This kit is part of an integrated workflow that starts with cfDNA, followed by sequencing on Illumina mid- and high-throughput systems, and highly accurate variant calling using the DRAGEN for ILMN cfDNA Prep with Enrichment App. This user-friendly solution is compatible with liquid-handling automation and accommodates sample multiplexing for scalable efficiency with high data quality.
