Product Details
QIAseq miRNA Library QC PCR Assays and Arrays enable rigorous quality control of both sample quality before NGS library preparation as well as NGS performance post-sequencing. Amplification of the QIAseq miRNA Library QC Spike-ins – a comprehensive set of spike-ins added during RNA isolation or to isolated RNA – allows assessment of the reproducibility and linearity of the NGS reads mapped to these exogenous sequences, ensuring optimal miRNA sequencing results.
QIAseq miRNA Library Kits are recommended for gel-free library construction miRNA, piRNA and small RNA on Illumina and Thermo Fisher Scientific NGS instruments.
Principle
The QIAseq miRNA Library QC PCR Panel Kit assesses the quality of RNA isolation for small RNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) by providing spike in controls with a qPCR panel that allows researchers to monitor for reproducibility between miRNA isolations, the presence of enzymatic inhibitors and nucleases, sample assessment for hemolysis (important for serum and plasma miRNA identification) and a thorough QC of the NGS data by assessing the reproducibility and linearity of the reads mapped to these exogenous sequences.
The kit is compatible with many samples types but is especially useful for challenging samples with low RNA content such as serum, plasma, urine and other biofluids.

Procedure
Addition of QIAseq miRNA Library QC Spike-Ins during RNA isolation enables monitoring of the comparability and reproducibility of the whole process from RNA isolation to NGS data analysis.
QIAseq miRNA Library QC Spike-Ins can also be added directly to RNA samples before small RNA library preparation. For more accurate ratios of spike-ins vs. endogenous miRNAs in other sample types or when using isolated RNA samples, experimental titration of QIAseq miRNA Library QC Spike-Ins is recommended.
The protocol consists of 5 steps:

Useful for a wide range of sample types.
The QIAseq miRNA Library QC PCR Panel can be used with a wide range of samples, as the miRNAs on the panel are expressed in many different sample types. In this example, human serum, plasma, urine, colorectal cancer (FFPE) and mouse brain (fresh frozen) samples were analyzed.
