Kits to prepare RNA populations for subsequent analysis of miRNA or siRNA expression includes enrichment procedure for all RNA species.
Traditional mRNA isolation procedures were developed to efficiency recover mRNA and can result in the loss of substantial amounts of small RNAs.
Ambion 's Mirvana isolation kit purifies all RNA species (including small RNAs), both single- and double-stranded.
Through an enrichment procedure included in the Mirvana miRNA isolation kit, RNA molecules less than 200nt in length can be efficiently purified away from larger RNA species. As such, the kit is ideal to prepare RNA populations for subsequent analysis of miRNA or siRNA expression.
