"Off-the-shelf" mRNA products can be used for various molecular biology applications. These pre-made mRNAs offer several advantages, including:

Cost-effectiveness: Compared to synthesizing mRNA in-house, purchasing off-the-shelf mRNA can be more affordable, especially for small-scale experiments.

Convenience: These mRNAs are readily available and can save time and resources compared to in vitro transcription.

Quality control: Reputable vendors ensure consistent quality and purity of their off-the-shelf mRNA products.
