Benefits
• From RNA sample to sequencing library, simple and easy in short 3.5 hours! 

• Robust performance and uncompromising results, high technical reproducibility

Perfect kit for RNA-seq library prep
Seq-Star™ Rapid RNA-seq Kit is better than classic RNA-seq prep kits in simplicity, speed, low input RNA amount requirement, robustness and uncompromising results.

* Classic dUTP-based RNA-seq kits such as Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation Kit, KAPA Stranded mRNA-Seq Kit, and others.

Optimized prep reactions
The reagent formulation and reaction conditions are highly optimized to produce high yield, high quality libraries without adapter dimers and erratic size distribution (Fig.2).
