# What is the difference between NextSeq PhiX Control Kit and PhiX Control v3?

* The PhiX library is the same in both kits, thus either kit can be used in any Illumina sequencing platforms.
* The only difference between kits is that the ***NextSeq PhiX Control Kit*** also includes Resuspension Buffer (RSB) whereas the ***PhiX Control v3*** does not.
