Broad Spectrum RNA Capture
Traditional silica binding skews toward high-GC RNA, while Norgen's silicon-carbide technology captures all RNA sequences, delivering a complete and unbiased RNA profile.
Size (and Content) Matters
Silica has shown a bias towards sequences that have a high molecular weight and a high GC content. Our RNA extraction technology shows no bias towards GC content or molecular weight, providing a true representation of RNA content.
No RNA Carriers Required
RNA carriers negatively impact the efficacy of down- stream applications like NGS. Our RNA extraction technology is highly sensitive & linear down to a few cells without the need for carrier RNA.
No Hazardous Compounds
Carryover of hazardous compounds such as Phenol/ Chloroform can negatively impact your downstream results. Unlike other common extraction methods, our RNA extraction technology does not require the use of such hazardous compounds.
How We Compare
| Feature | Norgen Silicon Carbide | Standard Silica-Based |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier RNA Required | No | Often |
| GC Content Bias | None | Common |
| Hazardous Chemicals | None | Often Used |
| Small RNA Recovery | Excellent | Poor |
| Sample Integrity | High | Risk of Contamination |
| Processing Time | Faster | Slower |
Recognition
The novelty of this technology has been recognized by the National Research Council by awarding Norgen the prestigious “Innovation Leader Award for 2003”.
