    Abstract: An example of a biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition includes a formamide reagent and a salt buffer. The formamide reagent is present in the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition in an amount ranging from about 10% to about 50%, based on a total volume of the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition. The salt buffer makes up the balance of the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition. In some examples, the biotin-streptavidin cleavage composition is used to cleave library fragments from a solid support. In other examples, other mechanisms are used to cleave library fragments from a solid support.
