Exiqon and QIAGEN have joined forces to offer you high-performance, LNA-based tools and technologies for all your miRNA quantification and functional characterization needs.

How can LNA benefit your research?

Locked nucleic acids (LNA) are a class of high-affinity RNA analogs in which the ribose ring is “locked” in the ideal conformation for Watson-Crick binding. LNA substantially increase affinity compared to traditional DNA or RNA oligos, giving unmatched sensitivity and specificity for the detection of small or highly similar DNA or RNA targets.

Benefits of LNA include:

•  Significantly increased specificity and sensitivity compared to DNA and RNA oligos/probes
•  Robust detection of all microRNA sequences, regardless of GC content
•  Detection of single nucleotide mismatches
•  Superior discrimination of miRNAs
