- Fast delivery times from 8 working days
For delivery in tubes:
- Oligos are supplied in 2ml screw cap tubes either lyophilized or in liquid form at the selected concentration
For delivery in plates:
- Oligos are supplied in the selected 96well plate in liquid form at the defined concentration
- A minimum of 20 oligos per 96-well plate is required
The cross-contamination rate of 0.01 – 0.05% was determined by sequencing representative sets of Unique Dual Index (UDI) primer pairs using Illumina instruments at Eurofins Genomics’ European NGS sequencing facility. The rate given represents the typical total percentage of read pairs not matching the expected UDI combinations for a set of 96 UDI primer pairs. The corresponding Application Note shows a cross-contamination rate of 0.0014% for a set of 14 UDI primer pairs.
Please note that the total cross-contamination rate (percentage of incorrectly assigned read pairs) is influenced by the total amount of UDI primer pairs analysed in parallel. The more UDI primers are analysed, the higher the total cross-contamination can get, as more unexpected index combinations can be attributed.
In all cases, the actual cross-contamination of primers would be even lower as stated above. This is because the association of reads with other unexpected UDI primer pairs is a result of primer cross-contamination and index hopping during sequencing. Discriminating between these causes is not possible in this analysis setup.
Please note that Eurofins Genomics does not determine the cross-contamination rate for each individual set of NGS oligonucleotides produced and shipped.

Product Data
Eurofins Genomics uses a new and proprietary synthesis device to produce high performance NGSgrade 2.0 oligonucleotides. This equipment enables best-in-class coupling efficiencies, resulting in a high percentage of non-truncated, full-length oligonucleotides.
Adapter Ligation Oligos for NGS amplicon sequencing on NovaSeq
High quality adapter oligos to improve multiplexing with sample tagging by NGS on Illumina. They are designed and validated by our in-house NextGen sequencing lab:
- 192 individual designed tags are available to label your samples
- Each tag consist of 10 nucleotides which will be added to your template specific forward primer*.
- The tags are designed with a minimum edit distance of 4, which prevents in a best possible way mis-assignments in case of sequencing errors
- Tags are optimised for sample pools with low and high amount of samples
- All NGSgrade Oligos undergo a specific cross-contamination free processes to guarantee best purity and performance
Please use our Excel template provided on the NGSgrade 2.0 Oligo order page, which is specifically coded for designing your amplicon adaptor ligation oligos.
The designed primers can be used for our NGSelect Amplicon Adaptor Ligation product or with your own sequencing protocol.
2nd PCR Oligos for NGS amplicon sequencing on MiSeq
Amplicon 2nd PCR Oligos are specifically designed to enable sample pooling for NGS on Illumina platforms. They are developed and validated by our in-house NextGen sequencing lab.
When performing NGS amplicon sequencing on MiSeq, primers with universal adaptors are required for the first PCR.
For your convenience, Eurofins Genomics automatically adds these adaptors to your target-specific sequences. This automated process during online ordering ensures that your primers have the correct, validated, and optimized design. To facilitate this, please use our Excel template, available on the NGSgrade 2.0 Oligo order page.
Adaptor sequences:
- Forward Primer Sequence: ACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCT
- Reverse Primer Sequence: GACTGGAGTTCAGACGTGTGCTCTTCCGATCT
The designed primers are compatible with our NGSelect Amplicon MiSeq service.
