In the past few years, microRNAs with 15-30 nucleotides in length have been shown to be biologically significant as ubiquitous, versatile repressors of gene expression. ScienCell Research Laboratories microRNA is isolated from a wide variety of normal human cell types by the Ambion’s mirVanaTM miRNA Isolation Kit, which employs an organic extraction followed by immobilization of RNA on glass-fiber filters to purify RNA enriched for small species.

HIPSC-BJ miRNA is isolated from one of ScienCell Research Laboratories human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines, which is derived from BJ fibroblasts using mRNA reprogramming technology. The pluripotent stem cells used for microRNA isolation are maintained as high quality pluripotent stem cells under feeder-free conditions. HIPSC-BJ miRNA is provided in DEPC-treated water and ready-to-use.
