Ensure success with high-performance miRNA sequencing

Overview

miRNAs are small but mighty, playing a significant role in gene expression regulation. There’s mounting evidence of their potential as disease biomarkers, which has driven extraordinary developments in cancer, metabolic and disease research. However, miRNA profiling research is often hindered by low RNA amounts and high levels of inhibitors, especially in biofluid samples. Complicated, gel-based workflows can result in inefficiency. These challenges have triggered a demand for dedicated solutions optimized for miRNA research – from high-quality miRNA extraction to efficient miRNA sequencing for miRNA expression insights. Advance your miRNA research by partnering with us and benefit from our high-performance miRNA-seq technology and expertise.
