RNaseOFF Ribonuclease Inhibitor specifically inhibits common ribonucleases (RNases), including RNase A, B and C, with high affinity. This enzyme is a useful additive in PCR or RT-PCR as it safe-guards RNA against potential RNase contamination without inhibiting polymerase activity. This robust version of RNase inhibitor has improved resistance to oxidation over the highly oxidation-sensitive human RNase inhibitor. RNaseOFF Ribonuclease Inhibitor is stable even under very low concentrations of DTT (< 1 mM), making it the best choice for ultimate RNA protection.
Notes
One unit is defined as the amount of RNaseOFF Ribonuclease Inhibitor that is required to inhibit the activity of 5 ng of RNase A by 50%. • Always keep RNaseOFF on ice during reaction set-up. • It is recommended to setup all RNA-related/RNase-sensitive work under conditions where RNase contamination has been eliminated. Pipette tips and tubes should be treated with 0.1% DEPC. • Wearing gloves is highly recommended while working with RNA.
