miQ-miRNA fluorescent detection

• MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding single stranded RNA molecules found in eukaryotic organisms. They are highly conserved and usually 21-23 nucleotides in length. miRNAs are involved in almost all cellular functions and regulate gene expression by binding to the 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) of targeted mRNAs. Irregularities in miRNA-regulated gene expression have been found to be associated with cancers, cardiovascular disorders and a variety of other diseases.

• LabOmics offers miQ, a novel technology allowing miRNA specific detection in less than 1 hour, using a standard fuorometer.

Advantages

• Fast detection

•     

• 1 hour protocol, no amplification required.

• Real-time signal

•            

• no radio-activity, the system works by fluorescence
