Abstract
This module is part of the Ultra™ II workflow, and is optimized for use with the NEBNext®Ultra II End Repair/dA-Tailing Module (NEB #E7546), for Illumina®-compatible library construction.
Guidelines
Safe Stop Point: This is a point where you can safely stop the protocol and store the samples prior to proceeding to the next step in the protocol.
Caution: Signifies a step in the protocol that has two paths leading to the same end point but is dependent on a user variable, like the amount of input DNA.
Color: A color listed before or after a reagent name indicates the cap color of the reagent to be added.
Adaptor Dilution Guidelines
The appropriate adaptor dilution for your sample input and type may need to be optimized experimentally. The dilutions provided here are a general starting point.
Table 1.1: Adaptor Dilution
| A | B | C | |
| Input | Adaptor Dilution (Volume of adaptor: Total volume) | Working Adaptor Concentration | |
| 1 µg–101 ng | No Dilution | 15 μM | |
| 100 ng-5 ng | 10-Fold (1:10) | 1.5 μM | |
| less than 5 ng | 25-Fold (1:25) | 0.6 μM |

Before start
Starting Material:
500 pg–1 µg fragmented DNA that has been end repaired and dA-Tailed using the NEBNext End Repair/dA-Tailing Module (NEB #E7546).
Note
Caution: If DNA input is ≤ 100 ng, dilute the NEBNext Adaptor for Illumina in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5-8.0 with with 10 mM NaCl as indicated in Table 1.1.
Ligation/End Prep
30m
Add the following products directly to the End Prep Reaction Mixture:
| A | B | |
| Component | Volume (μl) Per Reaction | |
| End Prep Reaction Mixture | 60 µl | |
| (red) NEBNext Adaptor for Illumina** | 2.5 µl | |
| (red) NEBNext Ultra II Ligation Master Mix* | 30 µl | |
| (red) NEBNext Ligation Enhancer | 1 µl | |
| Total Volume | 93.5 µl |
* Mix the Ultra II Ligation Master Mix by pipetting up and down several times prior to adding to the reaction.
** The NEBNext adaptor is provided in the NEBNext Oligo kit options, which can be found at www.neb.com/oligos.

Note
Note: The Ligation Master Mix and Ligation Enhancer can be mixed ahead of time and is stable for at least 8 hours @ 4°C. Do not premix the Ligation Master Mix, Ligation Enhancer and adaptor prior to use in the Adaptor Ligation Step.
Set a 100 µl or 200 µl pipette to 80 µl and then pipette the entire volume up and down at least 10 times to mix thoroughly. Perform a quick spin to collect all liquid from the sides of the tube.
Note
Caution: The NEBNext Ultra II Ligation Master Mix is very viscous. Care should be taken to ensure adequate mixing of the ligation reaction, as incomplete mixing will result in reduced ligation efficiency. The presence of a small amount of bubbles will not interfere with performance.
Incubate at 20 °C for 00:15:00 in a thermal cycler with the heated lid off.
15m
Add 3 µl of (red) USER® Enzyme to the ligation mixture from Step 3.

Note
Note: Steps 4 and 5 are only required for use with non-indexed NEBNext Adaptors. USER enzyme can be found in most NEBNext oligo kits, all options can be found on the www.neb.com/oligos page. If you are using the indexed UMI adaptor, USER is not needed. Please see corresponding manual for use with UMI on the E7395 product page under the protocols,manuals, and usage tab.
Mix well and incubate at 37 °C for 00:15:00 with the heated lid set to ≥ 47 °C .
15m
DNA is now ready for size selection or cleanup.
Note
Note: Please see NEB #E7645/#E7103 manual for recommended size selection/cleanup and PCR amplification protocols.
Note
Safe Stop Point: Samples can be stored overnight at –20°C.
