Bio-Rad Laboratories has launched the SEQuoia Complete Stranded RNA Library Prep Kit, a novel approach to RNA-Seq library preparation. Using the kit, researchers can capture the complete transcriptome, including short (<200 bp) and long (>200 bp) RNAs, in a single library prep. This approach is compatible with a broad range of sample inputs from a variety of sample types, including fresh-frozen, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE), and liquid biopsy specimens, generating cDNA libraries in less than four hours suitable for strand-specific NGS on Illumina sequencers. The kit includes access to the integrated SeqSense Analysis Solution, which is specifically designed for use with the SEQuoia Complete Kit to process and QC sequencing data for all RNA biotypes in the library within a single analysis pipeline.
