GenoExplorer™ microRNA labeling kit is designed to label miRNAs and other small RNA molecules for microarray analysis using a simple and highly robust labeling strategy. It directly labels RNA molecules, resulting in a highly effective and selective labeling method (no enrichment required!) for both animals and plants. Combining with GenoExplorer? microRNA arrays, one can achieve
GenoExplorer™ microRNA labeling kit (patented) principle and workflow. Labeled RNA hybridizes with probes on a glass microarray slide.
- Subfemtamole sensitivity with only 1 µg total RNA input (for optimal sensitivity we recommend using 1-2.5 µg total RNA although 100-200 ng total RNA can generate biologically significant results)
- Specificity of up to 94%
- Detection of less than 2 fold differential miRNA expression
- Uniform labeling and highly reproducible results with CV < 15% between experiments
- and > 3 logs of dynamic range on most scanners (eg. Axon, Agilent)

GenoExplorer™ microRNA array full kit provides a complete and easy-to-use kit with selective labeling procedure using total RNA (no enrichment required!) combined with a highly sensitive and reproducible assay. The arrays contain not only mature but precursor probes as well.
GenoExplorer™ microRNA array labeling kit directly labels RNA molecules resulting in a highly effective and selective labeling method (no enrichment required!) for both animals and plants.
GenoExplorer™ microRNA array chip is composed of mature and precursor miRNA sequences and probes that covalently bind onto a 3-D matrix slide.
GenoExplorer™ microRNA array probe set contains both mature and precursor miRNA sequences as well as multiple positive and negative controls.
Other reagents related to miRNA expression analysis include hybridization buffer, washing solutions, and probe printing buffer.
User Manual provides a step-by-step assay protocol.
