Lexogen Small RNA-seq Library Prep Kit

Aug 09, 2017

Lexogen has launched a small RNA-seq library prep kit that is compatible with Illumina's sequencing instruments. Customers can work directly from total RNA or enriched small RNA from a variety of sources, including liquid biopsies, sorted cells, and tissues. In addition, inputs can range from 50 picograms to 1,000 nanograms of RNA. The workflow takes five hours with one hour of hands-on time. The kit comes with up to 96 unique barcodes.
