Note
We recommend making 0.2 reactions worth of extra master mix to account for pipetting error.

In a PCR tube, add 12 ul master mix to 48 ul DNA from step 1.
Using a thermal cycler, incubate at 25 C for 5 minutes and 65 C for 5 minutes.

Note
We recommend making 0.2 reactions worth of extra master mix to account for pipetting error.

Add 2 ul of your chosen barcode from Oxford Nanopore PCR Barcoding Expansion 1-12 kit to 5 ul of DNA from previous step.

Note
Be sure to use different barcodes for any samples that will be sequenced together.

Add 93 ul of master mix to the barcode - DNA mix
Use the following thermocycler conditions to amplify the library using minimum of 15 cycles.
  • repeat steps 2-4 of this sub-step 15-25 times

Clean up using AMPure XP beads (1:0.5 sample:beads) and elute in 20ul Nuclease-free water.
  • See "Ampure Bead Clean up For HMW DNA" protocol.
  • For final elution step, incubate at Temperature55 °C Duration00:02:00
Check the concentration (we recommend Qubit) and purity (NanoDrop) of your DNA, and run on a Genomic DNA TapeStation to assess library size.
The amplified libraries should be used as input for the Oxford Nanopore 1D Genomic DNA by Ligation (SQK-LSK109) protocol, beginning with the "DNA repair and end-prep" step. Libraries with different barcodes can be pooled at your desired ratio before beginning. We recommend loading 10 - 100 fmol of DNA into the flow cell.
