From RNA to sequencing-ready libraries in as little as 2 hours

Just launched, Illumina Rapid RNA Prep is the fastest and easiest RNA library prep Research workflow in the Illumina portfolio - designed to minimize hands-on time, standardize mRNA, total RNA, and targeted RNA-Seq through a core workflow, and enable same-day sequencing without compromising performance.

In this webinar, Illumina experts are joined by early-access users who will share real-world data, workflow insights, and practical considerations from working labs.

Date:

23rd September 2026, Wednesday

Time:

09:30am - 10:30am (New Delhi) 11:00am – 12:00pm (Bangkok/ Jakarta) 12:00pm – 1:00pm (Singapore/ Kuala Lumpur) 01:00pm – 2:00pm (Tokyo/ Seoul) 3:00pm – 4:00pm (Melbourne) 5:00pm – 6:00pm (Auckland)
