TaqMan™ Advanced miRNA Human Serum/Plasma Card

This product contains one card for profiling of up to 188 unique miRNAs in one serum/plasma sample, and includes endogenous and exogenous miRNA controls for normalization of data results.

Features of the TaqMan Advanced Serum/Plasma Card include:

• Reproducibility—pre-spotted assays are designed to reduce pipetting error and minimize experimental variability
• Sample savings—requires only 2 μL of purified plasma/serum or 1–10 ng of total RNA per sample
• Updated content—assay content updated for mirBase v22
• Easy to use—just add a mix of diluted miR-Amp and master mix and run the qPCR; no additional pipetting required
• Gold-standard TaqMan qPCR chemistry—TaqMan Advanced miRNA assays draw on Thermo Fisher Scientific's industry-leading bioinformatics assay design pipeline and verification system to help ensure high specificity and minimal cross-reactivity, even for closely-related miRNA families

TaqMan Advanced miRNA plates require the use of the TaqMan Advanced cDNA Synthesis Kit, which uses a universal reverse transcription (RT) chemistry to prepare the cDNA template for use with TaqMan Advanced miRNA assays for detection and quantification of mature human miRNAs in biological samples.

These plates are not compatible with the first-generation TaqMan MicroRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit, which uses an miRNA-specific reverse transcription chemistry.
