Example of yield measurements obtained with the NEBNext kit when comparing the amount of DNA at each step versus the initial DNA input (500 ng). Blue bars correspond to values measured using the PhiX specific primers and reflect the DNA loss at each step mainly due to pipetting and bead clean up. The orange bar corresponds to the value measured with the adaptor specific primers and reflects the amount of DNA in the sample bearing adaptor after the ligation step in comparison with the initial DNA input. The green bar corresponds to the value measured with the P5/P7 primers and reflects the amount of sequencable DNA in the sample at the end of the library preparation
