GenoExplorer™ microRNA System

GenoExplorer™ microRNA Labeling Kit

GenoExplorer™ microRNA labeling kit is designed to label miRNAs and other small RNA molecules for microarray analysis using a simple and highly robust labeling strategy. It directly labels RNA molecules, resulting in a highly effective and selective labeling method (no enrichment required!) for both animals and plants. Combining with GenoExplorer? microRNA arrays, one can achieve

Subfemtamole sensitivity with 2.5 µg total RNA input (for optimal sensitivity we recommend using 2.5 µg total RNA although 200-300 ng total RNA can generate biologically significant results)

Specificity of up to 94%

Detection of less than 2 fold differential miRNA expression

Uniform labeling and highly reproducible results with CV < 15% between experiments

and > 3 logs of dynamic range on most scanners (eg. Axon, Agilent)

User's manual provides a step-by-step assay protocol
