QIAseq Stranded RNA Library Kits provide a superior method for generating Illumina compatible RNA-seq libraries from total RNA or mRNA enriched samples. For applications such as gene expression, fusion gene or mutation detection, QIAseq Stranded mRNA Select Kits include an optimized mRNA enrichment protocol with all the reagents and components required to build high-quality RNA-seq libraries. QIAseq Stranded RNA Library Kits use a unique protocol, which does not require actinomycin D to retain strand specificity or dUTP to ensure stranded library construction, thereby ensuring highly sensitive detection of low-expression RNA molecules with increased complexity and transcript coverage. QIAseq Stranded RNA Library Kits use CleanStart HiFi PCR Mastermix to ensure high-fidelity amplification of libraries and to protect from PCR contamination. CleanStart HiFi PCR Mastermix is included in each kit or can be used separately with other library preparation methods.
