Our Products
QuantSeq Expression Profiling Library Prep Kits
QuantSeq kits enable cost-efficient sequencing by counting. These kits are an exceptional alternative to standard RNA-Seq and microarrays. Just one fragment per transcript is produced and therefore there is no need for length normalization. This makes data analysis very simple and accurate. Up to 384 samples can be multiplexed in one lane, saving your sequencing space. QuantSeq is available for 3’ mRNA-Seq and targeted RNA-Seq.
QuantSeq 3′ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD is the best solution for genome-wide gene expression analysis by sequencing towards the poly(A) tail. The kit is available for Illumina and Ion Torrent platforms.
New! QuantSeq-Pool Sample-Barcoded 3′ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit for Illumina is the most convenient solution for gene expression profiling for large screening projects. Using early pooling and batch processing it is easily scalable from a few to 36,864 samples.
QuantSeq 3′ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit REV for Illumina is designed in a way that NGS reads start directly at the 3’ end of transcripts, enabling detailed 3’ UTR analysis and the study of alternative polyadenylation.
QuantSeq-Flex Targeted RNA-Seq Library Prep Kit V2 is designed to make Illumina compatible libraries from any RNA sample using custom primers. It is open for development by advanced RNA-Seq users based on their custom needs.
New! Up to 384 Unique Dual Indices (UDIs) featuring superior error correction for maximal sequencing data output included in new QuantSeq kits (Cat. No. 113 – 115, 129 – 131).
CORALL RNA-Seq Library Prep Kits
CORALL is Lexogen’s stranded whole transcriptome RNA-Seq library prep kit. CORALL enables streamlined generation of Illumina-compatible libraries within 4.5 hours, featuring seamless integration of Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) and exceptional protocol-inherent strand specificity (>99%). The fragmentation-free protocol uses Lexogen’s proprietary Strand Displacement Stop and Ligation technologies to deliver complete transcript representation, including exact start and end sites.
New! CORALL mRNA-Seq Kits provide a complete solution for mRNA sequencing and include poly(A) selection and library preparation to generate sequencing-ready whole transcriptome mRNA libraries in 5.5 hours. All CORALL mRNA-Seq Kits contain Unique Dual Indices (UDIs) featuring superior error correction for maximal sequencing data output.
CORALL Total RNA-Seq Kits are available with single or dual indexing options and are the ideal choice for Total RNA-Seq library generation after ribo-depletion with Lexogen’s RiboCop rRNA Depletion Kits. For convenience, CORALL Total RNA-Seq Kits are also available as bundled versions with RiboCop rRNA Depletion Kits.
New! Up to 384 Unique Dual Indices (UDIs) featuring superior error correction for maximal sequencing data output included in new CORALL Total RNA-Seq kits with UDIs (Cat. No. 117 – 119, 132 – 134).
New! LUTHOR 3’ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit
LUTHOR combines the novel THOR (T7 High-resolution Original RNA) Amplification Technology with a highly efficient library preparation for 3’ mRNA-Seq analysis of one individual cell or ultra-low RNA input. It provides unprecedented sensitivity, reproducibility, and a reduction of systematic errors. This template-switch-, ligation- and fragmentation-free protocol enables RNA-Seq even from challenging individual, singularized cells.
New! TraPR Small RNA Isolation Kit
The TraPR Small RNA Isolation Kit isolates functional, physiologically relevant silencing sRNAs from any organism, tissue, cell type, or bio-fluid. In contrast to previous state-of-the-art methods, this innovative 15-minute single-column workflow neither requires prior knowledge of the sample, nor does it involve tedious gel extraction steps or lengthy immuno-precipitation procedures. TraPR thus enables the extraction of high-quality sRNAs even from challenging or uncharacterized material, leading to highly reproducible sequencing results.
Small RNA-Seq Library Prep Kit
Small RNA-Seq Library Prep Kit provides a protocol for generation of small RNA libraries for Illumina sequencing directly from total RNA or enriched small RNA.
SPLIT RNA Extraction Kit
SPLITTM RNA Extraction Kit enables a fast and highly efficient extraction of RNA that is free of genomic DNA contamination. The RNA can be recovered as total RNA or split into a large and a small RNA fraction, facilitating the analysis of e.g. mRNA and miRNA from the same sample. Thus the protocol is ideal for seamlessly preparing libraries for NGS of total RNA or its large and small fractions.
New! SPLIT RNA Extraction Kit for Blood for efficient depletion of globin mRNA during the extraction.
Lexogen Indexing Solutions
Lexogen offers single and dual indexing solutions for all needs. Most common solutions are included in all Lexogen’s library prep kits and additional variations are available as Add-on Kits.
New! 384 Unique Dual Indices with superior error correction for maximal sequencing data output.
SLAMseq Metabolic RNA Labeling Kit for RNA-Seq
SLAMseq is a high-sensitivity method for time-resolved measurement of newly synthesized and existing RNA in cultured cells. SLAMseq enables resolution of RNA synthesis and degradation kinetics.
RiboCop rRNA Depletion Kits
RiboCop rRNA Depletion Kits for Human/Mouse/Rat and for Bacteria enable removal of ribosomal RNA from total RNA and are suited for Next Generation Sequencing as well as other demanding RNA analysis applications.
New! RiboCop HMR V2 with improved performance on degraded RNA samples.
New! Now also available for combined rRNA and globin mRNA depletion.
TeloPrime Full-Length cDNA Amplification Kit V2
TeloPrimeTM Full-Length cDNA Amplification Kit V2 generates full-length cDNA from total RNA. It is highly selective for full-length RNA molecules that are both capped and polyadenylated and therefore no cDNA from degraded RNA is being amplified. High-efficiency PCR produces excellent cDNA yields ideal for downstream long-read sequencing applications.
SIRVs (Spike-in RNA Variant Control Mixes)
The SIRVs are available as sets of transcripts designed to validate the performance of RNA sequencing workflows and to control individual samples passing through RNA-Seq experiments. They are available in 3 sets.
SIRV-Set 1 (Iso Mix E0, E1, E2) is made for a detailed validation of isoform-specific RNA-seq pipelines.
SIRV-Set 2 (Iso Mix E0) enables the straightforward assessment and control of isoform detection and quantification in each sample.
SIRV-Set 3 (Iso Mix E0 / ERCC) that combines isoforms and non-isoform ERCC transcripts provides controls for examining isoform resolution and dynamic range resolution.
SIRV-Set 4 (Iso Mix E0 / ERCC / Long SIRVs) contains the long SIRV module with 15 RNAs of 4 – 12 kb length in addition to the 69 isoforms and 92 ERCC transcripts of SIRV-Set 3. SIRV-Set 4 covers three spike-in aspects: isoform complexity, abundance, and length.
What our clients say
“We have been using QuantSeq for over 5 years to profile samples that we have found previously difficult to target, such as formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples. We have found that QuantSeq allows good reproducibility, low sample input requirements and rapid turnaround, allowing us to make the most of these precious samples.”
“Transcriptional profiling is one of our key approaches to study and understand the molecular mechanism of action of cancer drugs. We have made excellent experiences with the CORALL kit both in terms of experimental feasibility but also data quality. Through integration with synthetic spike-ins SIRVs, It was particularly helpful when testing drugs that affect overall transcriptional output and thus cause a global decrease in mRNA levels.”
“We have used the LUTHOR 3’ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit to profile single cells, which we FACS sorted before. The quality of the data is impressive: we detect high numbers of transcripts per cell by moderate sequencing depth. This allows us to comprehensively identify cell state and subtle cell state changes in the analyzed samples. For these aims, the 3’ mRNA-Seq library generated with the LUTHOR Kit has advantages over full-length cDNA approaches we have used previously. I can recommend LUTHOR for single-cell RNA-Seq analysis.”
