Use only one of the barcoded-t-0xx adaptors for each ligation reaction, unless < 4 libraries are being barcoded. Use the barcodes according to these conditions: If <4 libraries are prepared for sequencing, then use multiple barcodes per library in equal ratios. For example, for 2 libraries, use 2 barcodes for each library. For 3 libraries, use 4 barcode adaptors for each library for a total of 12 barcodes. If 4 libraries are prepared for sequencing and libraries are split into sets of 4 to use full sets of barcodes, then use one set of barcodes for the remaining libraries (1,2,or 3 libraries). There is no need to use multiple barcodes per library in equal ratios. If the input DNA before shearing is: <100 ng: Use 0.06 µl of each adaptor or an equivalent amount of adaptor after dilution. For example, use 0.6 µl of a 10-fold dilution of an adaptor or 1.2 µl of a 20-fold dilution. 100 ng: Calculate the amount of adaptor needed, Y, for the reaction based on the amount of DNA from the last purification step.

Pre-spin before use an empty PureLink Micro columns in collection tubes at 10,000 g for 1 minute. 2. Load the DNA onto the PureLink Micro columns: a. To 1 volume of sample, add 4 volumes of Binding Buffer (B2-L) with 40% isopropanol. b. Apply all of the mixture to the PureLink Micro column(s) in collection tube(s). c. Spin the column(s) at 10,000 g for 1 minute at room temperature, then discard the flow-through. dsdna is bound to the column. 3. Wash the column(s): a. Return the PureLink Micro column(s) to the same collection tube(s). b. Add 650 µl of Wash Buffer (W1) with 80% ethanol to wash the column(s). c. Spin the column(s) at 10,000 g for 1 minute at room temperature, then discard the flow-through. d. Spin the column(s) at 14,000 g at room temperature to remove residual wash buffer and dry the silica, then discard the flowthrough and collection tube. 4. Elute the DNA: a. Transfer the column(s) to clean 1.5-mL LoBind tube(s). b. Add 22 µl of Elution Buffer (E1) to the center of the column(s) to elute the DNA, then let the column(s) stand for 1 minute. c. Spin the column(s) at 14,000 g for 1 minute at room temperature. d. (Optional) Add the eluate from the last spin back to the column(s), then let the column(s) stand for 1 minute, then spin the column(s) at 14,000 g for 1 minute at room temperature. 5. If necessary, pool the eluted DNA into one 1.5-mL LoBind Tube. 15
