What are the advantages of the miRCURY LNA™ microRNA PCR system over others on the market?
The miRCURY LNA™ microRNA PCR system offers significant advantages when it comes to sensitivity and specificity of real-time PCR assays. The gene-specific RT step combined with the LNA™ enhanced PCR generates highly specific assays that can discriminate between targets with single nucleotide mismatches. The use of LNA™-enhanced primers means that even AT rich sequences can be efficiently amplified. The miRCURY LNA™ microRNA primer sets can be used on total RNA amounts as low as 1 pg, and the dynamic range is 8 logs. The miRCURY LNA™ real-time PCR assays preferentially detect mature microRNA sequences.
