Quantabio SparQ RNA-Seq HMR Library Preparation Kit

Mar 01, 2022

Quantabio has launched the SparQ RNA-Seq HMR Kit, an ultra-fast RNA next-generation sequencing library preparation kit with integrated ribosomal RNA and globin mRNA depletion. Researchers can use the kit to generate stranded transcriptome libraries from FFPE or low-input human, mouse, or rat samples in five hours with little hands-on time. It is optimized for Illumina sequencing platforms and is available in 24- and 96-reaction configurations.
