Coming soon: ARGO - A robust and rapid Library preparation Kit for RNA sequencing

In just two weeks, we’ll be launching ARGO, our brand-new RNA library prep kit, designed to make RNA sequencing library preparation faster, more consistent, and seamlessly compatible with our riboPOOLTM ribodepletion kits.

Built for Illumina® whole-transcriptome sequencing, ARGO enables the generation of stranded, UMI-labelled, dual-indexed libraries from low-input or even degraded/FFPE RNA - all in a streamlined, fragmentation-free process.

What Sets This Kit Apart

  • Fast, fragmentation-free protocol – reduces hands-on time
  • Robust and efficient workflow – ensures consistency and reliability
  • Excellent performance with low-input RNA – ideal for precious or limited samples
  • Optimized for challenging materials – including degraded RNA and FFPE samples
  • Seamless compatibility with all siTOOLs Biotech RNA-seq riboPOOL™ depletion kits

Better Together: ARGO + riboPOOL™

Combining the ARGO RNA Library Prep Kit with our riboPOOL™ rRNA depletion kits allows you to:

  • Purify and ribo-deplete RNA using a coordinated, fine-tuned workflow
  • Save time while improving reproducibility
  • Generate consistent, high-quality libraries ready for sequencing

Together, these products deliver high-quality, rRNA-depleted libraries across a wide range of species, showcasing the robust performance, efficiency, and reproducibility of the combined riboPOOL™ ribodepletion and ARGO RNA-seq library preparation workflow.
