Trusted IDT xGen NGS chemistries for emerging sequencers
Whether your project requires a basic indexing solution, or a more sophisticated design for higher accuracy, we have the products and expertise to deliver the right solution for DNBSEQ platforms.
xGen NGS—made platform-agnostic
IDT has several solutions available for customers sequencing on a DNBSEQ™ platform. Our products support both WGS and targeted (hybridization capture) sequencing workflows.

* Can be used if the stubby adapter included in the library prep kit is swapped out for the xGen Stubby Adapter for DNBSEQ
Use the xGen™ Stub Adapter-UDI Primers DNBSEQ™ products to perform indexing PCR on NGS libraries that require TA-ligation (using the included stubby adapter) for DNBSEQ-compatible library construction workflows that support indexing by PCR. Note, when using an IDT Library Prep Kit, the xGen™ Stubby Adapter DNBSEQ™ should be used instead of the adapter supplied in the IDT Library Prep Kit. For other commercial library prep workflows, refer to your library prep kit protocol for further instructions prior to using these products.
xGen™ Stub Adapter-UDI Primers DNBSEQ™ are available in two reaction sizes (16 and two sets of 96). xGen™ Stubby Adapter DNBSEQ™ is loaded in a multi-use tube and the xGen™ UDI Primers DNBSEQ™ are loaded into single-use plates.

No, these two stubby adapters are not cross-compatible—they are platform-specific.
xGen Library Amp Primer Mix for DNBSEQ can be used for amplification of libraries made from the xGen Stubby Adapter-UDI Primers for DNBSEQ.
The xGen Library Amp Primer Mix for DNBSEQ is used for PCR amplification during the hybridization capture enrichment workflow. Subsequent library circularization must be done using the MGIEasy Circularization Kit available from MGI, (MGI item number 1000005259) found here, prior to sequencing on a DNBSEQ platform.
No. Only xGen Universal Blockers for DNBSEQ should be used for hybridization capture of libraries prepared using the xGen Stubby Adapter-UDI Primers for DNBSEQ.
Other xGen Blocking Oligos available from IDT are not compatible with DNBSEQ libraries.
xGen Stubby Adapter for DNBSEQ is delivered in a multi-use tube at 15 µM.
xGen UDI Primers for DNBSEQ are delivered premixed at 10 µM each in a single-use plate and sealed with a pierceable seal. Each well contains a specific unique dual index (UDI) for indexing one sample.
Index sequences are available in the ‘Resources’ section on the product page . For further questions on the adapter sequences, we recommend contacting MGI at us-techsupport@completegenomics.com.
We recommend storing the xGen Library Amp Primer Mix for DNBSEQ at –20°C. The date of manufacture is included on the product label and its corresponding Certificate of Analysis, which can be found by searching by batch/lot number on the product label. We also recommend using the products within 1 year of the date of manufacture.

No, this is not recommended.
All our plate-based indexing products contain overage to allow for pipetting error, so we recommend pipetting directly out of the index plate and into a separate reaction plate or tube.
The xGen Stubby Adapter-UDI Primers for DNBSEQ libraries are compatible with an MGI DNBSEQ sequencer.
This can vary by library preparation method; consult the specific protocol you are using for the exact input range.
We recommend using a buffer made of 10 mM Tris, 0.1 mM EDTA, and 100 mM NaCl, pH 8.0 (such as the IDT NGS Adapter Buffer, Cat. No. 10006743) to dilute the xGen Stubby Adapter for DNBSEQ. Keeping the adapters duplexed requires a buffer with a high salt concentration.
No, neither the xGen Stubby Adapters nor UDI Primers for DNBSEQ are methylated.
No, neither the xGen Stubby Adapter-UDI Primers for DNBSEQ nor xGen UDI primers for DNBSEQ contain UMIs.
You should use an adhesive plate seal over the punctured but unused wells to prevent future cross‑contamination. Do not heat‑seal the plate twice.
