The Hairpin-itTM miRNAs qPCR Quantitation Kit is a sensitive and specific method using real-time PCR for the detection and quantification of miRNAs from total RNA samples. MiRNAs are small, single-stranded, ~19–23 nt RNA molecules encoded in the genomes of plants, animals, and viruses. Mature miRNAs enter the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and guide the RISC to induce translational repression or endonucleolytic cleavage of specific target mRNAs. Unlike commonly used methods for detection of miRNAs, the Hairpin-itTM miRNAs qPCR Quantitation Kit is more rapid and sensitive. 
This Kit contains a miRNA specific RT and PCR primer set, with a Molecular Beacon probe included. The stem-loop-like miRNAs RT primer and the miRNAs specific Beacon probe ensure the RT and PCR reaction would not be interfered by the miRNAs precursors. The reaction template could be total RNA or cell lysates.
To normalize for RNA content among different experimental samples, the U6 snRNA qPCR Normalization Kit (Cat # QPM-050) and 5S rRNA qPCR Normalization Kit (Cat # QPM-060) are available separately.
Hairpin-itTM miRNAs qPCR Quantitation Kit Reagents box includes the following items. Store the components at –20℃. Reagents must be stored in the dark.
