As the latest generation of library preparation kits, KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kits utilize a novel chemistry and combines enzymatic steps to achieve fewer reaction purifications and yield high-quality RNA-Seq libraries in a single day.
Learn moreKAPA mRNA HyperPrep Kits enrich for polyadenylated species and provide a focused view of the coding regions. Kits provide high coverage uniformity and minimal PCR duplicates.
Learn moreKAPA RNA HyperPrep Kits with RiboErase provide consistent and effective rRNA depletion and reduce the number of reads wasted due to alignment to rRNA loci. Kits provide high coverage uniformity and yield high-quality libraries with degraded inputs, including FFPE samples and degraded RNA..
Learn moreAs the first generation RNA library preparation kits, the KAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kits combine a “with-bead” protocol with the robustness of KAPA HiFi DNA Polymerase to yield high-quality RNA libraries.
Learn moreKAPA Stranded mRNA-Seq Kits make use of KAPA mRNA Capture Beads prior to library preparation and provide a focused sequencing of protein-coding transcripts.
Learn moreKAPA Stranded RNA-Seq Kits with RiboErase provide consistent and effective rRNA depletion yielding high coverage of transcripts of interest, including noncoding and precursor transcripts. Compatible with degraded inputs, including FFPE samples.
