Please follow Good Laboratory Practices.
To prevent DNA contamination, clean all surfaces and equipment before use with DNA AWAY Surface Decontaminant, separate the lab in pre- and post-PCR areas, and use filtered sterile pipette tips.
For each protocol step that requires theremoval of tube cap strips, reseal the tubes with a fresh strip of caps.

Abstract
We adapted the SureSelect XT HS2 DNA protocol to prepare libraries using as input material samples after single-cell Whole Genome Amplification (scWGA), instead of genomic DNA samples, for library preparation for Illumina single-cell Whole Genome Sequencing (scWGS). This protocol can be employed either manually (Section 2: Option A) or in combination with automation using the Bravo Automated Liquid Handling Platform (Section 2: Option B).
We have used this protocol for DNA products after single-cell Whole Genome Amplification (scWGA) by either PicoPLEX (Takara), ResolveDNA (BioSkryB) and droplet MDA (Samplix). We recommend to bead purify the PicoPLEX and ResolveDNA products prior library preparation. In all cases, the amplicon quantity and size should be assessed using Qubit and TapeStation or other methods prior to SureSelect XT HS2 DNA library preparation.
Bravo error/notification messages
Two error/notification messages are encountered when VWorks Bravo software is initializing:
1. If you encounter the G-axis error message shown below, select Ignore and Continue, leaving device in current state.
2. If you encounter the W-axis error message shown below, select Retry.
