SeqMatic’s TailorMix dual-indexed PhiX control library is a adapter ligated library used as a control for Illumina sequencing instruments. Our custom indexed library eliminates PhiX contamination in multiplexed sequencing runs, enabling the generation of cleaner raw data and the option to analyze the PhiX reads for quality control purposes. Each tube contains 200uL of single stranded library prediluted in HT1 buffer to a concentration of 20pM, ready for spike in.

⇒ NOTE: Non-denatured PhiX is available for platforms using ExAmp cluster generation (NovaSeq, HiSeq X and HiSeq 3000/4000). Denatured PhiX is not compatible with those platforms.

Features
