Agilent unveils SureSelect Strand-specific RNA library preparation kit

The new kit will help researchers to prepare high-quality, strand-specific libraries for next-generation sequencing.

The kit has been optimized to provide outstanding sequencing performance and uniform coverage of the entire transcript, the company said.

Agilent genomics marketing division associate director Yong Yi said Strand-specific RNA-sequencing library preparation is the latest addition to the company’s next-generation sequencing/gene-regulation portfolio, which offers the most complete integrated solutions from sample to analysis.

"We are thrilled to provide another highly sensitive tool that will advance understanding of how gene regulation governs normal and aberrant biological processes," Yi added.
