Detect and discriminate short or closely related sequences with ease
LNA oligos exhibit unprecedented thermal stability when hybridized to their complement. This much higher affinity – compared to traditional DNA or RNA oligos – helps overcome the difficulties of studying very short sequences. LNA oligos have greatly improved, and in many cases enabled, specific and sensitive detection of non-coding RNA and other small RNA molecules. Beyond RNA, these powerful tools are ideal for detecting low-abundance, short or highly similar targets in many other research applications. QIAGEN provides a comprehensive portfolio of LNA-enhanced research tools. Read on and learn how you can use these to gain more insights from your experiments.
The unique characteristics of LNA make it a powerful tool, not only for miRNA research but also for detection of low-abundance, short or highly similar targets in a number of applications.
The Antisense LNA GapmeR Custom Builder will help you create and purchase antisense oligonucleotides for effective and specific knockdown of your RNA target.
