Revolutionise your RNA research

The RNA library preparation kits offer a range of benefits, including high accuracy, long reads, and fast turnaround times. Every research project is unique, so to cater to different research projects, a range of kits are available. Confidently characterise and quantify full-length RNA transcripts, splice variants, and fusions using short to ultra-long fragment nanopore sequencing. Accurately analyse differential gene expression and transcript usage. Sequence native RNA directly, without amplification or reverse transcription, and identify base modifications.
