The miRNA reagents provide streamlined, high-fidelity target preparation methods yielding better data reproducibility in combination with the Affymetrix GeneChip Arrays.
The reagents by Genisphere are said to be compatible with varied sample types including formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) fresh frozen samples and blood.
The solution will help researchers study the role of miRNAs in biological processes such as mRNA degradation, transcriptional gene silencing, translational repression, and in biomarker discovery in translational and cancer research.
Furthermore, these reagents provide ultrasensitive miRNA labeling in just 45 minutes, eliminating the need for purification steps to go from sample to target for microarray hybridization.
