D-Plex Total RNA-seq Library Preparation Kit is a tool designed for the study of the whole coding and non-coding transcriptome. The kit is using the D-Plex technology to generate directional libraries for Illumina sequencing directly from total RNAs, mRNAs that has already been enriched by poly(A) selection, or RNAs that has already been depleted of rRNAs.
The D-Plex technology utilizes two innovative ligation-free mechanisms - poly(A) tailing and template switching - to produce sequencing libraries from ultra-low input amounts, down to 50 pg for total RNAs, mRNAs or rRNA-depleted RNAs. Combined with unique molecular identifiers (UMI), this complete solution delivers a high-sensitivity detection method for comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome. It accurately measures gene and transcript abundance and captures the widest possible diversity of RNAs, including known and novel features in coding and non-coding RNAs.
D-Plex Total RNA-seq Kit offers a time saving protocol that can be completed within 5 hours and requires minimal hands-on time. The library preparation takes place in a single tube, increasing the efficiency tremendously. This new solution has been extensively validated for both intact and highly degraded RNA samples, including that derived from FFPE preparations.
