What is the difference between the Ion AmpliSeq Library Kit Plus (Cat. No. 4488990) and the Ion AmpliSeq Library Kit 2.0 (Cat. No. 4475345)?
Both kits are used for the same function (preparation of amplicon libraries using Ion AmpliSeq panels). The difference is that the Plus kit is a technical improvement in relation to the 2.0 kit. It has a different and optimized formulation that achieves slightly better results with difficult samples.
