Dinner and new products presentation

Join us for a dinner and learn about the latest Lexogen product updates. During this dinner we will present a new kit for Total RNA-Seq library prep and upgrade of the TeloPrime Full-Length cDNA Amplification Kit. Please register for this event.

The TeloPrime V2 upgrade will leverage the use of long read Next Generation Sequencing for transcriptome studies. TeloPrime is based on Lexogen’s unique Cap-Dependent Linker Ligation and long reverse transcription technology, capturing mRNAs via their 3’-poly(A)-tails and the 5’-cap in the same prep. The resulting cDNA provides a faithful representation of the transcriptome with superior 5’ cap specificity and is ideally suited for long read NGS analyses, on PacBio™ and Oxford Nanopore™ instruments.

Furthermore, we are proud to announce the release of Lexogen’s brand-new Total RNA-Seq Library Prep Kit! This advanced library prep protocol is based on Lexogen’s proprietary RNA technologies and provides a fast, easy, reliable, and cost-efficient approach to generate cDNA libraries for sequencing on Illumina® platforms. If you want to know more, join us for this dinner talk.

09:30 PM @ Lexogen Lanai suite 190
