Achieve informative and efficient RNA-Seq analysis with our Zymo-Seq RiboFree® Total RNA Library Kit, featuring ribosomal RNA (rRNA) depletion to prevent it from overshadowing other RNA molecules. The Zymo-Seq RiboFree® Total RNA Library Kit integrates a unique universal depletion technology that enables rRNA depletion from the total RNA of any organism. Dive into the transcriptomes of less commonly studied organisms in addition to human, mouse, and rat samples, across various research applications.
Comprehensive Gene Detection for Every Transcriptome & Beyond

The Zymo-Seq RiboFree® Total RNA Library Kit Produces Dense Coverage of Protein Coding and Other Transcripts. The RiboFree® Universal rRNA Depletion technology boosted the number of reads for protein-coding and other non-rRNA transcripts to > 90% in samples across several kingdoms and phyla, detecting exceptional numbers of genes. Classification of the STAR-aligned reads was based on Ensembl annotations and RepeatMasker rRNA tracks from UCSC genome browser when applicable. “# Genes Detected” accounted for the number of unique gene IDs with TPM > 0.1.
The Fastest RNA-Seq Library Prep Workflow

The Zymo-Seq RiboFree® Total RNA Library Kit has the Fastest Workflow from Total RNA to rRNA-depleted, NGS Libraries. The RiboFree® library prep workflow offers a 20% - 40% reduction in completion time compared to other similar RNA library prep kits. Workflow time considers the hours required to complete both rRNA depletion and library preparation.
