The NEXTFLEX Rapid XP v3 DNA-Seq Kit for Metagenomics combines fast, automation-ready library preparation with integrated downstream analysis. Designed for shotgun metagenomic sequencing of microbial communities, each purchase includes access to Cosmos-Hub® for streamlined analysis and interpretation.
The purchase of the NEXTFLEX Rapid XP v3 DNA-Seq Kit for Metagenomics includes access to Cosmos-Hub®, a secure, cloud-based analysis platform for WGS metagenomics. Cosmos-Hub® enables taxonomic and functional profiling, antimicrobial resistance gene detection, and microbiome diversity analysis through version-controlled pipelines.
Key features:
Learn when shotgun metagenomic sequencing can provide additional taxonomic and functional information compared with amplicon-based approaches.
KEPLER™ Profiler provides host-agnostic, multi-kingdom taxonomic profiling across environmental, animal, agricultural, food, and other sample types using curated reference databases. Within Cosmos-Hub, KEPLER taxonomic results can be paired with host-agnostic functional profiling.
Benefits of KEPLER™ Profiler:
Figure 1: KEPLER™ Profiler provides host-agnostic, multi-kingdom metagenomic profiling with curated reference databases, 30,000+ species coverage, strain-level placement, fast run times, patented methods, and a literature base of 600+ citations.
CHAMP™ Profiler provides high-resolution taxonomic and functional profiling of human-associated microbiomes from shotgun metagenomic sequencing data using a validated marker gene-based algorithm. It is designed for human microbiome, translational, and biotechnology research and supports analysis of microbial abundance and functional potential.
Benefits of CHAMP™ Profiler:
Figure 2: CHAMP™ benchmark performance. In the CAMI benchmark, CHAMP showed 16% higher recall than MetaPhlAn4. In the NIBSC panel, CHAMP produced approximately 400-fold lower false signal than the other profilers shown.
The NEXTFLEX Rapid XP v3 DNA-Seq for Metagenomics workflow is designed to generate high-complexity libraries with low adapter-dimer formation and consistent representation across a broad GC range. These characteristics help preserve usable sequencing reads and support reliable analysis across diverse microbial genomes.
The NEXTFLEX™ Rapid XP v3 DNA-Seq Kit for Metagenomics pairs with NEXTFLEX UDI barcode adapters, sold separately, for sample multiplexing on Illumina® and Element Biosciences™ sequencing platforms. UDI configurations up to 1,536 indexes support projects ranging from small studies to high-throughput sequencing programs.
NEXTFLEX Normalization Beads are not included with the kit and are available separately.
