Nextera, Illumina Prep, and Illumina PCR Kits

This section provides guidelines for pooling Nextera, Illumina Prep, and Illumina PCR index kits.

Illumina does not recommend pooling libraries across different UD index kit types. Adapter sequences can be similar or shared across plates. For example, do not pool Illumina UD Indexes with IDT for Illumina UD Indexes.
