riboPOOls' unique feature is their high complexity pooling approach based on our Pack Hunter design algorithm.

The high complexity of riboPOOLs ensures optimal and maximum rRNA coverage, allowing for efficient and cost-effective rRNA removal of any species or abundant RNA.

riboPOOLs are available for single species (e.g., Homo sapiens, Drosophila melanogaster, etc.) and multiple species.

Benefits of riboPOOLs

• rRNA depletion for any species

• Wide RNA-input range (10 ng – 3 µg)

• High complexity probes for efficient, reliable rRNA removal

• riboPOOLs for highly degraded samples (FFPE)

• Cost-effective

• special solution for ribosome profiling

Single-Species riboPOOLs

Single-species riboPOOLs are available for well-studied and lesser-known species (Escherichia coli, Arabidopsis thaliana or Schmidtea mediterranea and many more). Single-species riboPOOLs are specifically designed based on the species' rRNA to target both conserved and non-conserved regions.

Moreover, single species riboPOOLs are used on high quality to medium quality RNA and result in high rRNA depletion efficiency.

riboPOOLs Special Applications

riboPOOLs can be customized to fit your RNA samples. We create riboPOOLs for any mixture of RNA (e.g., Seawater samples), strongly degraded RNA (i.e., FFPE samples), or ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) samples

Total RNA extracted from FFPE tissue (Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues) are heavily degraded, with RIN values below 2.

Due to their strong fragmentation, ribosomal RNAs are difficult to remove before RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).

With a gapless and tiled probe coverage of the entire rRNA sequence, siTOOLs Biotech developed an efficient rRNA depletion tool for FFPE and other strongly degraded RNA samples.

We currently have human, mouse/rat, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Drosophila melanogaster riboPOOLs for degraded RNA samples.

Ribosome Profiling (Ribo-Seq) identifies actively translated RNAs by sequencing only those 30-base mRNA fragments protected by ribosomes.

The nuclease digest, degrading unprotected mRNA outside of ribosomes, also generates highly abundant ribosomal RNA contaminations, making up many sequencing reads.

siTOOLs Biotech has generated an efficient Ribo-Seq riboPOOL targeting primarily those extremely abundant rRNA contaminants commonly found in Ribo-Seq samples.

The entire rRNA sequence is covered with capture probes to deplete any less abundant rRNA fragment.

Our Ribo-Seq riboPOOL portfolio includes rRNA removal solutions for human, mouse/rat, Drosophila melanogaster, and Caenorhabditis elegans Ribo-Seq samples.

The riboPOOL workflow has four main steps:

1. Preparation of streptavidin-coated magnetic beads and riboPOOL

2. Hybridization of riboPOOL to target RNA

3. rRNA depletion

4. RNA Clean up.

All four steps can be completed within 70 minutes.

Achieve a fast and easy rRNA removal with riboPOOLs thanks to a hybridization-based workflow.
