rRNA & Globin mRNA Removal Selection Guide 

Ribosomal RNA Depletion Selection Guide

Depletion of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) prior to RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) allows researchers to focus on analyzing high-value portions of the transcriptome. Illumina rRNA removal solutions set the standard for rRNA and globin mRNA depletion for RNA-Seq library preparation.

The rRNA depletion process:

  • Works with intact, degraded, and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) RNA.
  • Enriches for mRNA and non-coding RNA for whole-transcriptome RNA-Seq.
  • Features an automation-friendly process.
  • Provides single-tube rRNA depletion of multiple species.
