Integrated DNA Technologies has launched custom NGS adapters, which customers can order in three configurations using the company's Custom Adapter Configuration online ecommerce tool: TruSeq-compatible full-length adapters, TruSeq-compatible stubby adapters and indexing primers, and Nextera-compatible indexing primers.

In addition, IDT has released the Lotus DNA Library Prep kit, an enzymatic library preparation solution for whole-genome sequencing and hybridization capture applications. The kit is optimized for use with IDT's custom adapters and xGen capture products and has a 2-hour workflow. It is compatible with TA-ligation adaptors and can be tailored to different applications when combined with the new adapters.
