miR-ID assays are designed for miRNA analysis from total RNA samples Please send us your small RNA sequence or miRNA (miRbase) accession number.  Pricing depends on complexity of the small RNA.  Most commonly used miR-ID® assays cost $170. miR-ID® kit contents are sufficient for 100 RT reactions (20 ul each) and 300 PCR reactions (20 ul each).

RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring process by which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression either pre- or post-transcriptionally.  The discovery of RNAi led to a better understanding of gene regulation and opened the door to exciting new applications in research and therapeutics.  The 2006 Nobel price was awarded in recognition of this revolutionary advance.

miR-ID is a novel platform for detecting miRNA using a circularization-based RT-qPCR method.  This technology allows SNP discrimination at any position in miRNAs and other small RNAs.  miR-ID® is highly sensitive and uses affordable single-dye detection.  The technology works well with all sample sources, including total RNA, cell lysates, and tissue lysates.
