Your RNA Sequencing Solutions!

RNA-Seq (RNA sequencing) is a technique that uses next-generation sequencing to reveal the presence and quantity of RNA molecules in a biological sample,providing a snapshot of gene expression in the sample, also known as transcriptome. Understanding the transcriptome is key if we are to connect the information in our genome with its functional protein expression. This allows scientists to understand the biology of a cell more deeply and assess changes that may indicate disease.

Library Preparation

Lexogen RiboCop rRNA Depletion Kit


Total RNA is comprised of large amounts of undesired ribosomal RNA (rRNA). RiboCop enables very efficient removal of rRNA. Besides ribosomal RNA, RiboCop can also deplete globin mRNA, which makes up 30 – 80 % of all mRNA in mammalian blood. Thus, RiboCop focuses sequencing reads on RNA of interest while maintaining unbiased expression profiles.

RiboCop also offers exceptional performance on low input samples, down to 1 ng starting amount and is the ideal solution for total RNA-Seq analysis on degraded and FFPE samples.

Applications:

  • Expression analysis, incl. non-coding transcripts
  • Analysis of long non-coding RNA, snRNAs, snoRNAs, and circRNAs
  • Isoform analysis, incl. non-polyadenylated RNAs
  • FFPE and Biobank transcriptomics
  • Biomarker analysis, e.g., circRNAs in blood, and many more…

Library Preparation

Lexogen CORALL RNA-Seq Library Prep Kits


The CORALL RNA-Seq Library Prep Kits enables fast and cost-efficient generation of stranded, UMI labelled, and unique dual indexed libraries for whole transcriptome analyses using Illumina® NGS platforms.

  • Time saving: Offers a fast and fully automatable whole transcriptome RNA- Seq workflow which is completed in only 4.5 hours.
  • Excels with low input: Supports the widest input range (1 ng – 1000 ng) with excellent performance for low input RNA down to 1 ng prior to mRNA- selection or ribo-depletion.
  • Unlocks challenging samples: CORALL’s fragmentation-free protocol and built-in UMIs for RNA-Seq library preparation are ideal for challenging inputs, such as degraded and FFPE RNA.
  • Adjustable library size to perfectly fit your application: Choose between standard size for expression analysis or longer lengths for alternative splicing, isoforms and fusion detection, etc.
