Is the quality and size of DNA extracted with the QIAamp DNA Mini and QIAamp Blood Mini kit good enough to generate DNA-libraries for next generation sequencing (NGS)?

The size of DNA obtained with QIAamp DNA Mini and QIAamp Blood Mini kit ranges between 100 bp and 50 kb, with 30 kb fragments predominating. The 30 kb fragments are a good starting point for most of the library preparations. Furthermore, the purified DNA is free of protein, nucleases, and other contaminants and inhibitors, and therefore is suitable for NGS.
