SureSelect XT HS2 enables the ability to multiplex hundreds of samples in one sequencing run and facilitates the removal of sample contamination due to index hopping from reads, according to the firm.

In addition, the kit features better error correction for detecting variants with low allele frequencies and the option to purchase solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) beads and streptavidin beads as part of a complete kit, Agilent said.
