MicroBiology

Micro RNA is frequently referred as miRNA. There are number of kits available in the market today which are used for the detection of the miRNA. The kits available now a day are able to detect miRNA as less as 50 ng or even less of the total RNA. The kits available for detection come in various detection ranges and are measured in femtomoles. Also with some kits there is no need to measure the mature miRNA with the amplification step. With some of the kits variety of RNA’s can be detected easily.

Splinted-ligation technology is the latest found in the Micro RNA labeling kit. With the advanced technology number of kits which helps to detect the microarray based identification of the miRNA targets have come up. Also some of the kits provide interfaces for hybridizing the mature miRNA’s. Some of them contain 3-Cytidine bisphosphate reagents which play vital role to mature the miRNA. The use of the modern sciences and advanced technology has made it very easily for the rapid detection of the amount of subfemtomole present in the miRNA species.

The detection of all the samples including those of plants is also possible with some of the kits. Some kits make use of additional reagents and buffers for the labeling reactions that take place.
