Title: How to deal with the issue of excessively large or double peaks in RNA & DNA Co-prepared library fragments?

If the nucleic acid samples contain high concentrations of EDTA or have an excessively high pH, it can affect the efficiency of DNA digestion. It is recommended to purify nucleic acid samples using 2X NadPrep SP Beads, replacing the elution reagent with Nuclease Free Water before proceeding with library preparation.

Title: How to deal with low yield of RNA & DNA co-prepared library?

√ If the sample is a co-extracted total nucleic acid, quantification of RNA and DNA should be performed separately using Qubit, and library amplification should be carried out according to the recommended cycles in the manual. 

√ During the experiment, RNase-free consumables must be used, and the operating environment should be free of RNase contamination, as this can affect the efficiency of RNA reverse transcription.

√ If the nucleic acid sample contains excessive amounts of chelating agents, guanidine salts, phenol, proteins, ethanol, or other impurities, it can impact the activity of RNA reverse transcriptase and the efficiency of DNA enzymatic digestion. It is recommended refer to purify the nucleic acid samples using 2X NadPrep SP Beads, replace the elution reagent with Nuclease Free Water, and then proceed with library preparation.
√ For samples of lower quality, consider increasing the number of PCR amplification cycles appropriately.
Title: Is the NadPrep rRNA Fast Blocking Comprehensive Solution suitable for severely degraded FFPE samples?

A: This solution is suitable for RNA samples from a wide range of cell and tissue sources with varying degradation levels. However, it is not recommended for severely degraded FFPE samples (DV 200 < 20%).

Title: Is the NadPrep rRNA Fast Blocking Comprehensive Solution compatible with other third-party RNA library preparation kits?

A: Yes, it is. This solution can be integrated with RNA library preparation kits for the preparation of total RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) libraries. If you choose a third-party RNA library preparation kit, we recommend using NEBNext® Ultra™ II RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina® (NEB, Cat # E7770L) or the KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit (Roche, Cat # KK8541). For the use of RNA library preparation kits from other brands, please consult technical support from Nanodigmbio with support@njnad.com. 

Title: Why is the dsDNA yield slightly higher when prepared using the NadPrep rRNA Fast Blocking Comprehensive Solution?

A: This solution contains a large amount of rRNA ssDNA blocking reagent. When used in conjunction with the NadPrep Total RNA-To-DNA Module, there may be a slight residual of ssDNA in the purified dsDNA product. When quantifying dsDNA using a nucleic acid fluorescence quantifier, this residual ssDNA can influence the results, leading to a slightly higher yield. However, the remaining rRNA ssDNA blocking reagent does not affect subsequent experiments. We recommend appropriate adapter dilution factors and PCR amplification cycles for different different types of RNA and different input amounts. 

Title: Can the NadPrep EZ DNA Library Preparation Kit v2 be used after being placed at room temperature overnight?

The kit can be used after being placed on the table at room temperature overnight without UV light irradiation. NadPrep EZ DNA Library Preparation Kit v2 hasa stable performance even at room temperature 12 h.

Title: How many times can the NadPrep EZ DNA Library Preparation Kit v2 be frozen and thawed?

NadPrep EZ DNA Library Preparation Kit v2 is recommended to be frozen and thawed within 15 times. In order to ensure the data quality, it is recommended to use it in sub packaging. Please mix well before sub packaging.

Title: Is it appropriate to use input DNA that is higher or lower than recommended in the user manual?

In order to ensure the data quality, it is best to prepare the library within the scope recommended in the user manual. If there are special experimental needs, it can also be adjusted appropriately. The libraries prepared fromdifferent input DNA areshown as follows:

Q7


Experimental conditions: Human Genomic DNA Male (Promega, catalog # G1471) was fragmented with different input DNA, with 25 min of the enzymatic digestion time. NadPrep Universal Stubby Adapter (UDI) Module was used together for library preparation with single-sided selection mode. The library yield and size meet the requirements of sequencing.

  • Loss caused by double-sided selection after fragmentation


Q6-1

Experimental conditions: 500 ng of Human Genomic DNA Male (Promega, catalog # G1471) was fragmented by using different enzymatic digestion times, and the procedures were conduct at 25℃ for 15, 20, 25 and 30min, respectively, then65℃ for 30 min. At the end of the fragmentation procedures, according to Appendix II 1.1 of the user manual, double-sided selection was used. After selection, Nuclease Free water was used to elute for subsequent adapter ligation.

This step of selection can make the fragmented samples more concentrated, thus leading to high efficiency of subsequent adapter ligation, but the sample loss is relatively high (about 60-70%), which is suitable for the library preparation of sufficient DNA. It is recommended that input DNA is ≥200 ng



  • Loss caused by double-sided selection after ligation


Q6-2

Experimental conditions: 100 ng of Human Genomic DNA Male (Promega, catalog # G1471) was fragmented by using different enzymatic digestion times. After the adapter ligation was

completed, the single screen mode and double screen mode were used respectively (see Appendix II 1.2 of the user manual for details).

The library yield after double-sided selection is 15-25% loss compared with  single selection. But it is not recommended for low-quality DNA or input DNA is ≤50 ng.
