AnyGenes® DiLysis™ reagents are designed to support direct lysis qPCR workflows, helping researchers prepare cell lysates for downstream RT-qPCR and targeted gene expression analysis without conventional RNA extraction.
This extraction-free workflow is particularly useful when working with single-cell samples, rare cell populations, limited biological material or low-input experiments where sample handling and RNA loss must be carefully controlled.
DiLysis™ supports extraction-free preparation of cell lysates before RT-qPCR, helping simplify workflows for rare cells, small cell populations and low-input gene expression analysis.
Designed to lyse cells directly and reduce the need for conventional RNA extraction steps before RT-qPCR analysis.
Can support workflows involving limited biological material, including applications using approximately 10–100 cells depending on sample type and experimental design.
Helps minimize manipulation steps that can contribute to RNA loss, variability or contamination in low-input workflows.
Cell lysates can be used in adapted reverse transcription and qPCR workflows for targeted gene expression analysis.
Can be combined with SpeAmp® cDNA preamplification when target abundance or sample input is limited.
Supports targeted pathway-focused qPCR strategies when combined with suitable preamplification and SignArrays® panels.
Conventional RNA extraction can be challenging when starting material is very limited. Multiple handling steps may increase sample loss, introduce variability or make it difficult to work with rare cells, sorted populations or small biological samples.
DiLysis™ supports a simplified direct lysis qPCR workflow by preparing cell lysates that can be used for reverse transcription and downstream targeted qPCR analysis. This approach helps streamline sample preparation while keeping the workflow focused on selected genes, pathways or biomarker panels.
