  • MinION sequencing kit

    Hello experts,

    When I am reading some publications using MinION, people used kits named MAP-003 Kits or MAP- 004 Kits for library generation. But when I look at the ONT website, I see three kits, Rapid Sequencing Kit 2, Ligation Sequencing Kit 1D (R9.4), and Ligation Sequencing kit 2D (R9.4)? What are the MAP-003 Kits or MAP- 004 Kits? I am planning to use MinION for viral genomes and not sure which kit I should purchase. Thank you for the help in advance.

    The MAP*** kits are outdated versions and are no longer available.
    The selection of kit depends on your sample type:
    RAD - rapid kit tagmenting the template DNA
    Lig1D - Ligation of adaptors sequenicing 1 strand (1D)
    Lig2D - Ligation of adaptor + hairpin adaptor sequencing both strands (2D - results in highter seq-quality)

    The old MAP kits were most likely 2D ligation kits. By know I would guess the 1D sequencing provides same accuracy than the old MAP-2D kits but yield more output.

        Yes, that's right. To further add to the confusion, ONT will be shortly bringing out a double-1D technology shortly that excludes the hairpin but produces a 2D consensus sequence.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
