Product Description
The KAPA Hyper Prep Kit provides a versatile, rapid protocol for the construction of libraries from fragmented, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) for Illumina® sequencing. The novel chemistry and streamlined, one-tube protocol improves the efficiency and consistency of library construction across a wide range of sample types and inputs.
The workflow combines enzymatic steps and employs minimal paramagnetic bead cleanups, thereby reducing sample handling and overall library preparation time to 2-3 hours.
The kit contains all of the enzymes and reaction buffers required for:
- end repair and A-tailing, which produces end-repaired, 5'-phosphorylated, 3'-dA-tailed dsDNA fragments;
- adapter ligation, during which dsDNA adapters with 3'- dTMP overhangs are ligated to 3'-dA-tailed molecules;
- library amplification, which employs high-fidelity, low-bias PCR to amplify library fragments carrying appropriate adapter sequences on both ends.
A single, concentrated buffer and a single enzyme mixture is provided for each of the two core library construction steps. This offers the best combination of product stability, convenience and efficiency.
In order to maximize sequence coverage uniformity, it is critical to minimize library amplification bias. KAPA HiFi DNA Polymerase is designed for low-bias, high- fidelity PCR, and is the reagent of choice for NGS library amplification1, 2, 3, 4. The KAPA Hyper Prep Kit includes KAPA HiFi HotStart ReadyMix (2X), a ready-to-use PCR mix comprising all the components for pre- and post-capture library amplification – except primers and template.

Product Applications
The KAPA Hyper Prep Kit is ideally suited for low- and high-throughput NGS library construction workflows that require end repair, A-tailing, adapter ligation and library amplification. Industry-leading library construction efficiency and low-bias amplification result in higher library yields and complexity – enabling lower duplication rates and more uniform coverage. This translates to higher overall coverage depth, which is critical for low-input and challenging samples; and contributes to lower sequencing costs.
This version of the KAPA Hyper Prep Kit and protocol has been tailored for the preparation and amplification of libraries for the SureSelectXT Target Enrichment System (Agilent Technologies), from cell-free/circulating tumor DNA, FFPE DNA; or high-quality DNA from blood, fresh frozen tissue or other sample types.
The KAPA Hyper Prep chemistry and automation-friendly protocol is, however, also compatible with other NGS applications, including:
•whole exome or targeted sequencing, using Roche® NimblegenTM SeqCapTM EZ or IDT xGenTM LockdownTM Probes, or other hybridization capture systems,
•whole-genome shotgun sequencing,
•ChIP-seq, and
•methyl-seq (in combination with KAPA HiFi HotStart Uracil+ ReadyMix for library amplification).
Please contact kapabiosystems.com/support for the appropriate product code and protocol should you wish to use a KAPA Hyper Prep Kit for any of the above applications.
Process Workflow
Library Construction Protocol
Important Notes:
•The following reagents are not supplied in the KAPA Hyper Prep Kit, and must be sourced from general laboratory stocks or third-party suppliers:
Agencourt® AMPure® XP reagent (Beckman Coulter, part number A63880, A63881 or A63882) or KAPA Pure Beads (KK8000, KK8001 or KK8002).
Freshly prepared 80% ethanol
Elution buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0-8.5)
Nuclease-free water (non-DEPC treated).
• Adapters and library amplification primers are provided by Agilent, in your custom SureSelectXT reagent kit.
•Your KAPA Hyper Prep Kit (KK8520) contains all of the KAPA HiFi HotStart ReadyMix needed for pre- and post-capture amplification. Unused ReadyMix may be stored at -20 °C for subsequent use, or at 4 °C (for up to 1 month). KAPA HiFi HotStart ReadyMix stored at -20 °C can withstand 50 freeze-thaw cycles without any impact on performance.
•The Important Parameters section contains background information, as well as important guidelines with respect to DNA input, adapter concentration and the number of pre-capture amplification cycles in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Kindly review the relevant subsections before starting this protocol.

- Post-ligation Cleanup
- Pre-capture Library Amplification
- Post-amplification Cleanup
- Target Enrichment
Please refer to the SureSelectXT target enrichment protocol supplied by Agilent for subsequent steps in the workflow, i.e.,
•SureSelectXT hybridization
•Capture and washing of hybridization reactions
- On-bead Post-capture Amplification
One 50 µL post-capture library amplification reaction is performed per sample. As template, ~50% of the washed, resuspended streptavidin beads retaining the SureSelectXT captured DNA is used. The remaining 50% of the bead slurry is stored at -20 °C.
