Epicentre’s ScriptSeq™ Complete Kits are now available. The kits combine Epicentre's industry-leading Ribo-Zero™ rRNA removal technology and rapid ScriptSeq v2 method for seamless, end-to-end preparation of directional RNA-Seq libraries in 1 day. The ScriptSeq Complete Kits use 1-5 μg of total RNA, and the ScriptSeq Complete Kits—Low Input use 100 ng to 1 μg of total RNA. The Low Input kits are especially suitable for RNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples.

Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.
Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
