AmpliSeq for Illumina Comprehensive Cancer Panel Compatible Products

Sample Information

Before preparing libraries, record information about your samples using an option available for the NextSeq 550 System.

Library Prep

Panel Description

The AmpliSeq for Illumina Comprehensive Cancer Panel provides a targeted resequencing solution for analyzing somatic mutations across 409 genes with known associations to cancer. 

Number of Pools Concentration Number of Amplicons Average Amplicon Length (bp) Average Library Length (bp)
4 2X 15,992 109 249
Library Prep and Index Kits

Completing the AmpliSeq for Illumina Comprehensive Cancer Panel protocol requires the panel and the following library prep and index kit. The AmpliSeq for Illumina Library PLUS Kit is available in 24-, 96-, and 384-reaction configurations.

Number of Samples

Because the AmpliSeq for Illumina Comprehensive Cancer panel has four oligo pools, it requires more input DNA and reagents than panels with one or two pools.

  • Use the 24-reaction configuration to prepare 12 libraries.
  • Use the 96-reaction configuration to prepare 48 libraries.
  • Use the 384-reaction configuration to prepare 192 libraries.

For each DNA sample, the AmpliSeq for Illumina Comprehensive Cancer Panel generates one DNA library. A sample is a specimen of nucleic acid from one source, while a library is nucleic acids from a sample after preparation. A library has the ends required for sequencing.

Preparing the appropriate number of samples requires the following number and combination of kits.
