Mirus Bio has introduced the TransIT-X2 dynamic delivery system.

According to the company, the polymeric nucleic acid-delivery system can be used for independent or simultaneous delivery of DNA and siRNA to a variety of cell types.

Fluidigm has added microRNA expression profiling to its C1 single-cell auto prep system.

The new protocol allows researchers to co-amplify hundreds of miRNAs in an individual cell while processing up to 96 cells in parallel, the company said.
