The F1000-RHS-100 is the 100-assay Accuris High Sensitivity RNA Quantification Kit — the low-input RNA chemistry in the F1000 fluorometric family. Sister to F1000-RBR-100 (Broad Range RNA) for routine RNA workflows; the High Sensitivity variant covers low-input RNA workflows where sample concentration falls below the Broad Range detection limit. Common low-input RNA scenarios: cell-free RNA (cfRNA) from plasma / serum, single-cell RNA-Seq prep, low-yield viral RNA extraction, FFPE-tissue RNA.

Application Profile
Single-cell RNA-Seq library prep — single-cell genomics workflows where individual-cell RNA prep produces sub-ng/µL concentrations.
Cell-free RNA (cfRNA) liquid biopsy — clinical-research workflows quantifying circulating cell-free RNA from plasma or serum.
Low-yield viral RNA quantification — clinical-diagnostic-research workflows quantifying viral RNA from low-titer samples.
FFPE-tissue RNA quantification — FFPE clinical-research workflows where degraded RNA recovery is low-yield.
Microbiome low-biomass RNA quantification — microbiome workflows where low-biomass sample types produce sub-ng RNA yields.
Ordering & Configuration
Storage & handling. Per kit instructions — typical fluorometric kit storage at 4 °C protected from light.
