RNA-Seq Libraries
PrepX RNA-Seq Sample and Library Preparation Kits
PrepX RNA-Seq sample and library preparation kits enable the preparation of high-quality directional libraries from 10 ng of total RNA in a single work day. Start with total RNA, and choose between the polyA mRNA isolation and ribo-depletion protocols on the Apollo 324 System. The isolated mRNA is ready for QC or can be directly used for directional library preparation using the PrepX mRNA library preparation protocols. Each run takes 15 to 20 minutes of hands-on time to set up, then press RNA and walk away. The Apollo 324 provides a complete walk-away automation of the tedious library preparation process for RNA-Seq and transcriptome studies.
To automate polyA mRNA isolation and library preparation, use the PrepX PolyA mRNA Isolation Kit for mRNA isolation and follow with one of the PrepX RNA-Seq Library Kits for directional RNA-seq library preparation. We have designed two throughput modes (1 to 8 samples per run and 6 to 48 samples per run) so just choose the protocol that suits your throughput needs. Our automated protocol for ribo-depletion processes 1 to 8 samples in 1.5 hour run time and works with all of Epicentre’s Ribo-Zero magnetic kits.
