Legacy RNA-seq kits

We offer multiple generations of transcriptome analysis kits. The core SMART (Switching Mechanism at 5' end of RNA Template) technology employed by these legacy kits provides full-length transcript information, enabling analysis of transcript isoforms, gene fusions, point mutations, and more. While our newest generation of kits provide advantages over these legacy kits, we advise finishing ongoing projects with the same kit. For new experiments, we recommend using our most advanced solutions for RNA-seq.
