Illumina Stranded mRNA Prep Ligation 1.1

Overview

The Illumina Stranded mRNA Prep Ligation workflow includes the following functionality.

• Preconfigured protocols that convert the messenger (mRNA) in total RNA into up to 384 dual-indexed libraries. Depletion reagents bind and deplete abundant transcripts from total RNA. Reverse transcription then converts the remaining RNA into cDNA, while subsequent ligation and amplification steps add adapters for clustering and sequencing on an Illumina system.

• Automated calculation of sample and buffer volumes.

• Automated calculation or display of reagents at every step in the protocol.

• Automatic step transition when required.

• Automatic placement of samples when necessary.

• Automated assignment of QC Pass/Fail, based on user-selected threshold values.

• A routing script that allows sequencing of libraries using any Illumina sequencing instrument.
