SBI – Exosome RNA-Seq and Mass Spec Kits
The XRNA RNA-Seq Kits offers a high sensitivity solution for generating exosome RNA (including miRNA) libraries from low concentration RNA samples. These kits enable the discovery and profiling of miRNAs from various organisms and tissues via the Illumina sequencing platform.
The XPEP Mass Spec kits provide a start-to-finish solution for making either exosome surface peptide libraries (aka "shaving") or creating complete peptide libraries from isolated exosomes that are compatible with direct loading onto most Mass Spec instruments.

Technical Report
Micronic – Customer Application: The Barcode of Life Project
The international Barcode of Life Project (iBOL) is the largest biodiversity genomics initiative ever undertaken. Hundreds of biodiversity scientists, genomics specialists, technologists and ethicists from 25 nations are working together to construct a richly parameterized DNA barcode reference library that will be the foundation for a DNA-based identification system for all multi-cellular life.
For this project, the Naturalis Biodiversity Center and the Nees Institute for Plant Biodiversity both selected Micronic 0.50ml 2D Data-Matrix coded tubes together with TPE caps to provide high integrity, long-term storage of their samples at -80°C.
