FAQs

Our Bio-Rad team will be at booths 511/513 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

By employing a post-library prep strategy to remove cDNA library fragments derived from rRNA or mt rRNA, the SEQuoia kit reduces this risk. In addition, removal of rRNA sequences after library preparation avoids the loss of small RNA or small RNA fragments from degraded RNA samples, a problem inherent to pre-library rRNA depletion kits.

We will be showcasing the QX700 System, the CFX Opus Dx Systems, the BioPlex 2200 System, and our QC data management solutions.

Yes. This kit uses a proprietary blend of synthetic biotinylated oligos that have homology to cDNA produced from human, mouse, and rat cytoplasmic (5S rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA) and mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA). Target cDNA sequences hybridize to complementary biotinylated oligonucleotides through a PCR-mediated reaction. These complexes are captured using streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads and removed from the library. Small library fragments may not hybridize as efficiently to the probes, thus will be left behind in the library, resulting in a higher percentage of reads mapping to rRNA.

The QX700 System is for research use only, and not for use in diagnostic procedures. The CFX Opus Dx Real-Time PCR Detection Systems are for in vitro diagnostics (IVD).
