When should I use CRC versus HD Enhancer for Ion AmpliSeq HD library preparation?

CRC is a component of the Ion AmpliSeq HD Library Kit (Cat. No. A37694). CRC improves target amplification reactions for challenging panels that produce excessive amounts of primer dimer or panels that have ⋝500 primer pairs. We recommend using CRC with all panel types. HD Enhancer is a component of the Ion AmpliSeq HD Library Kit with HD Enhancer (Cat. No. A57283) and is also available separately as Cat. No. A53690. HD Enhancer is used for improved library quality and molecular coverage results. Guidelines for using HD Enhancer or CRC for Ion AmpliSeq HD library preparation are outlined in the user guide (https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/LSG/manuals/MAN0017392_Ion%20AmpliSeqHDLibraryKit_UG.pdf).

Which barcodes are compatible with Ion AmpliSeq HD Library Kit with HD Enhancer (Cat. No. A57283)?

We recommend using the Ion AmpliSeq HD Dual Barcode Kit 1-24 (Cat. No. A37695) with Ion AmpliSeq HD Library Kit with HD Enhancer (Cat. No. A57283). The libraries are dual barcoded at the 5' and 3' ends and this enables the multiplexing of up to 24 samples in a single chip. Using these dual barcodes also reduces the risk of barcode cross-contamination.
