NEBNext ® Ultra II FS DNA Library Prep Kit Novel Enzymatic Fragmentation System Do you need a faster, more reliable solution for DNA fragmentation and library construction? The NEBNext Ultra II FS DNA Library Prep Kit meets the dual challenge of generating high quality next gen sequencing libraries from ever-decreasing input amounts AND simple scalability. Enzymatic shearing increases library yields by reducing DNA damage and sample loss. Our novel fragmentation reagent is combined with end repair and dA-tailing reagents, and a single protocol is used for a wide range of input amounts (100 pg – 500 ng) and sample types. You’ll be thrilled to pieces with the result – a reliable, flexible, high-quality library prep that is fast and scalable. You’ll be thrilled to pieces.

NEBNext® Ultra™ II FS DNA Library Prep KitNovel Enzymatic Fragmentation System

Do you need a faster, more reliable solution for

DNA fragmentation and library construction?

The NEBNext Ultra II FS DNA Library Prep

Kit meets the dual challenge of generating

high quality next gen sequencing libraries from

ever-decreasing input amounts AND simple

scalability. Enzymatic shearing increases library

yields by reducing DNA damage and sample loss.

Our novel fragmentation reagent is combined

with end repair and dA-tailing reagents, and a

single protocol is used for a wide range of input

amounts (100 pg – 500 ng) and sample types.

You’ll be thrilled to pieces with the result – a reliable,

flexible, high-quality library prep that is fast

and scalable.

You’ll bethrilled to pieces.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is now calling for

applications for the Sofja Kovalevskaja Award, one of the most

valuable academic awards in Germany. With funding of up to

€1.65 million, it creates unique opportunities for excellent

researchers to conduct their own research in Germany: award

winners are invited to spend five years working at the institute

of their choice and setting up their own research groups –

independently and virtually free of bureaucracy.

Scientists and scholars of all disciplines from abroad who have

completed their doctorates within the last six years are eligible

to apply. The award targets outstanding talent and a creative

approach to research.

The Humboldt Foundation actively promotes equal opportu-

nities and therefore particularly welcomes applications from

women researchers.

The closing date for applications is 31 July 2018. More information: www.humboldt-foundation.de/SKP_en
