The abundance of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), constituting 80–90% of total RNA, necessitates removal upstream of next generation sequencing and other applications. This second generation rRNA depletion kit incorporates reagent, probe and protocol improvements, resulting in superior depletion performance. The efficient RNAse-H-based workflow, and close spacing of probes, enables effective depletion from both low- and high-quality RNA, with a broad range of input amounts.
For added convenience, this kit contains NEBNext RNA Sample Purification Beads (Agencourt® RNAClean® XP beads from Beckman Coulter).
The kit is also available without RNAClean® beads.
Highly expressed transcripts with minimal biological interest, such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA) can dominate readouts, masking detection of more informative low-abundance transcripts. This second-generation NEBNext rRNA Depletion Kit is has been further optimized to incorporate reagent, probe and protocol improvements to the RNaseH-based workflow, resulting in superior depletion performance.
