Before Starting the Procedure1. General Workflow Guidelines Wear gloves and any other appropriate PPE and always follow clean bench work techniques. Thoroughly clean the workbench with a DNA-removing agent (e.g.: DNA Away , Termi-DNA-Tor,10% bleach followed by 70% alcohol, or equivalent) to reduce the risk of sample contamination. While working at the bench, wipe gloves frequently with a DNA-removing agent to reduce the risk ofsample and reagent cross-contamination. Alternatively, change gloves frequently. Separate pre- and post-PCR areas. Use of dedicated equipment in both the pre- and post-PCRenvironment is advised. All instruments and pipettes should be calibrated and maintained per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Before beginning, gather the following items and reagents so that they are accessible throughout theworkflow: a full range of filtered pipette tips, single and multi-channel pipettes, 96-Well 0.2mL PCRPlates, Eppendorf LoBind tubes, magnetic racks for a 96-well plate and a 2.0 mL tube, nucleasefree water, ice, PCR plate cooler, tube-labeling supplies, FASTplex DNA Suspension Buffer, 200proof Ethanol, and sterile reagent reservoirs.TDX-OLI-DMR-PS-3213, Rev 02Page 4 of 27

One Lambda, Inc. Application Note: AllType FASTplex NGS Assay on Illumina Sequencing Systems Use of manual multi-channel pipettes is recommended for Purification steps. Alternatively, use of amulti-dispensing pipette such as an Eppendorf Multipipette Xstream may be used. Single channelpipettes are only recommended for workflows containing a small quantity of samples. Master mix preparation and dispensation should be done on ice and at a reasonably fast pace toavoid unintended results.D. Preparation for Assay1. DNA sample requirements for genomic DNA amplification: DNA samples should be re-suspended inFASTplex DNA Suspension Buffer at an optimal concentration of 25 ng/µL using a Qubit Fluorometer formeasurement. For samples with a starting concentration higher than 25 ng/µL, use the “gDNA Dilution”tab in the AllType FASTplex NGS 11 Loci Flex Kit Calculator (Excel file) to calculate the original samplevolumes and DNA Suspension Buffer volumes to prepare 25 ng/µL dilutions. While the optimalconcentration is 25ng/µL, an acceptable range of genomic DNA concentrations for DNA amplification are6.25 ng/µL and 50 ng/µL. Optical density (OD) methods should not be used to measure DNAconcentration as the readings could be overestimated. If optical density (OD) method is used tomeasure DNA quality, the expected A260/A280 ratio is 1.65 - 1.80.2. Measure the DNA concentration of purified amplification products using a Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit.Use the “Amplicon Dilution” tab in the AllType FASTplex NGS 11 Loci Flex Kit Calculator (see Directionsfor Use, subsection 2. d. – Amplicon Dilution) to calculate the volume of DNA and DNA SuspensionBuffer for proper dilution of the purified amplicons. Use only FASTplex DNA Suspension Buffer toresuspend DNA. The AllType FASTplex NGS 11 Loci Flex Kit Calculator is provided to dilute 2 µL ofamplicon to meet the above input DNA requirement. Do not use EDTA-containing solutions (e.g., TEbuffer or Low TE buffer) to dissolve or dilute input DNA.3. Record each sample location and the volume of the FASTplex Sample Flex Plate 24 and the UBreagents to be used for library prep. Plan out the sample locations within a PCR 8-tube strip(s) or a 96well plate using the corresponding source wells from the Sample Plate or UB tubes. Make a map, andclearly label the PCR 8-tube strip(s) or 96-well plate before starting the procedure.Note: Keep track of how much of each Sample Plate and UB reagent has been consumed in the librarypreparation. The supplied nominal volume of Sample Plate reagent (per well) is 64 µL per well, and 10µL per tube for the UB tube.4. Reagents in the kit are intended for multiple uses: do not discard until empty. Contamination of all kitreagents/components should be carefully avoided and the unused portions should be returned tostorage at the temperature indicated on the label. The FASTplex Sample Flex Plate 24 supplied in the kitcontains enough sample-barcoding (SB) reagent to prepare libraries for up to 96 samples or up to twelve8-sample libraries. Re-seal the remaining contents of the FASTplex Sample Flex Plate 24 carefully witha new seal and store at -20 C until the next use. Take cautions to avoid well-to-well crosscontaminations.5. Program thermal cycler(s). For convenience, set up all the thermal cycler programs before starting. Besure to use Veriti 96-Well Thermal Cycler or a model capable of 9600 emulation speed or 0.8 C/secheating and -1.6 C/sec cooling.a) Genomic DNA Amplification Program for Illumina WorkflowTEMPERATURE94OC98OC69OC4OCTIME2 min10 sec3 minHOLDCYCLE1301b) TAG Program: 55 C for 15 min., 25 C holdTDX-OLI-DMR-PS-3213, Rev 02Page 5 of 27

Pulse-spin kit components. Liquids can condense or shift locations inside containers during shipment orstorage. Before every use of the Sample Plate, and before dispensing from reagent tubes, pulse-spin ina suitable centrifuge to gather the reagents at the bottom of the well or tube. If the kit components freezeduring shipment or storage, thaw, mix, and pulse-spin before use.7. Equilibrate Paramagnetic beads to room temperature. Paramagnetic beads can be stored for up to 2weeks at room temperature or for longer periods at 2 - 8 C. If stored cold, set the beads at roomtemperature for 30 minutes and vortex them thoroughly to resuspend before use. Pipette slowly and donot pre-wet pipette tips to transfer volumes accurately.8. Check the Stop Solution for precipitate before use. If a precipitate is visible, incubate the tube at 37 C for5 minutes. Mix gently by inversion until the precipitate dissolves (do not vortex).Note: Stop Solution contains SDS and will precipitate if stored below room temperature. Overly vigorousmixing will cause foaming.9. The FASTplex Barcoding Buffer is viscous and should be stored at room temperature when in use. Totransfer Barcoding Buffer accurately, pipette slowly and do not pre-wet pipette tips. While addingBarcoding Buffer to reactions, mix in the Barcoding Buffer completely by pipetting up and down severaltimes with the same pipette tip(s) that was used for addition.10. Prepare 80% ethanol fresh daily.11. Use FASTplex DNA Suspension Buffer supplied in the kit to resuspend purified amplicons, and in allother elution steps. Do not use EDTA-containing solutions (e.g., TE buffer) to dissolve or dilute inputDNA because EDTA can inhibit enzymatic activity.12. Safe-stopping points are indicated in the procedure. For optimal results, proceed directly to the next stepunless an optional safe-stopping point is indicated.E. Barcoding Strategy1. Plan sample barcoding before starting the assay. The AllType FASTplex NGS 11 Loci Flex Kit – 96 usesa combinatorial dual indexing strategy. The kit contains a total of 24 unique Sample Barcodes (SB) (i7indices) and 4 unique FASTplex UB (i5 indices), to allow up to 96 samples per run. Each library (or pool)can contain between 8 to 24 samples and is barcoded with one unique UB. When planning a librarypreparation, select non-overlapping SB if the sample size is between 8-24. For libraries that containmore than 24 samples, refer to section 3b below to prepare libraries with more than one UB with samplesize recommendations.The following figure provides an example layout for a 96-sample library – i.e., four batches of 24samples. A01 through H03 represents the Sample Barcode indices, while F1 through F4 represents theUB indices.TDX-OLI-DMR-PS-3213, Rev 02Page 6 of 27

The minimum number of samples per pool is 8 samples. When performing multiple batch runs,the number of samples per pool (using different UB) must be equal to the number recommended by theAllType FASTplex NGS 11 Loci Flex Kit Calculator. Refer to section 3b below to calculate samplenumbers when the total number of samples is above 24.2. To perform a sequencing run with sample sizes above 24, enter the total number of samples to cell F6 ofthe “Pool Configuration” tab in the AllType FASTplex NGS 11 Loci Flex Kit Calculator. The samplenumbers for each pool will be shown in the Recommended Samples for each pool in cell D8, G8, J8 andM8. Use of the recommended sample sizes is to ensure good index read balance for healthy index readbalance. Examples of pool sizes for various sample numbers are listed in table below, RecommendedBarcoding and Pooling for Various Sample Sizes.3. Alternatively, to combine libraries of different sample sizes, follow the instructions below.a) For the libraries with sample sizes between 8-24 and shares the same UB, make sure that the SBdoes not overlap. Skip to step 3-c below.b) For the libraries with sample sizes between 8-24 with non-overlapping UB, proceed to step 3-c.c) As described in Direction for Use, section D-4-c, Quantification of Final Library, step (16), adjust theconcentration of the libraries to an appropriate concentration for the platform used (Table 4-c-15).Mix libraries using volumes that are proportional to the sample size of the libraries. For example, tomix two libraries of a sample size of 8 and 24 for MiSeq, adjust the concentrations to 1.35 ng/µL. Mix8 parts and 24 parts of the libraries such as 8 and 24 µL.

After centrifugation, carefullyremove the plate seal from the Sample Flex Plate and discard the plate seal (do not reuse theplate seal) and place it on ice. Equilibrate FASTplex Paramagnetic Beads at room temperature.Useful Tip: The Sample Barcoding step is the only step where an individual sample must betreated separately. An 8-channel pipette and use of an 8-tube strip can make this step faster andless error-prone. Common reagents, Barcoding Buffer and Stop Solution, can be pre-aliquotedinto an 8-tube strip or equivalent for use with the 8-channel pipette. The volume of reagents toaliquot using an 8-
