Some of the benefits of using LNA include:

  • Ideal for the detection of short RNA and DNA targets
  • Increases the thermal stability of duplexes
  • Capable of single nucleotide discrimination
  • Resistant to exo- and endonucleases resulting in high stability in vivo and in vitro applications
  • Increased target specificity
  • Facilitates Tm normalization
  • Strand invasion properties enables detection of “hard to access” samples
  • Compatible with standard enzymatic processes

    It is too late in the century for women who have received the benefits of co-education in schools and colleges, and who bear their full share in the world’s work, not to care who make the laws, who expound and who administer them.
    J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)

    Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
