Product news

Visit Swift Biosciences at AACR booth number 2642 and see the future of NGS sample prep. Swift is presenting two new Accel-NGS™ DNA Library Kits: the “2S” kit provides the highest quality and yield from double-stranded input, while the specialized “1S” kit is perfect for single-stranded, damaged or nicked DNA. Come see how Swift Biosciences can help take your NGS to new levels of performance.

The Accel-NGS 2S kit is the most versatile, highest performing library kit available, offering:
• High yields from a wide range of input quantity and quality
• Linear performance from 10 pg to 1 µg
• PCR-free libraries can be produced from as little as 100 ng
• Excellent efficiency, data quality and evenness of coverage
• No base composition bias from AT- or GC-rich genomes
• Ideally suited for clinical samples such as those from FFPE and plasma*
• No input quantification required
• Compatible with the leading hybridization capture products
• Suitable for ChIP-Seq
• Readily automatable
• Attractive pricing

Unlike other kits, the Accel-NGS 1S DNA Library Kit does not require intact, double-stranded DNA making it compatible with single-stranded, damaged and nicked DNA and heat-denatured pathogenic samples. The Accel-NGS 1S kit also offers additional benefits:
• Make libraries from DNA inputs ranging from 2.5 ng to 1 µg.
• PCR-free libraries can be produced from as little as 250 ng
• Fast - approximately 90 minutes, start-to-finish when used without PCR
• High sequence quality and coverage
• Very low chimera formation
• Attractive pricing

DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.DNA SequencingDNA sequencing, such as sanger sequencing, is a biological technique that determines the precise order of nucleotide bases in a fragment or template of DNA. DNA sequencers and genetic analyzers are based on capillary electrophoresis, where labeled DNA fragments are electrophoretically separated by size as they migrate through a polymer. Find the best DNA sequencing products, including DNA sequencing kits, genomic libraries and genetic identity kits in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
