Can I use total RNA for the miRNA PCR Arrays or Assays?
Yes, you can. But, be sure that your total RNA includes small RNAs. There are quite a few popular RNA isolation Kits that enrich mRNA and exclude small RNA out. Please double check the User Manual of your chosen RNA isolation Kit and make sure that it also retains small RNA. We recommend using SA Biosciences small RNA isolation Kit to obtain enriched small RNA for your miRNA PCR Arrays or Assays.
