General description

Not recommended in systems where other enzymatic activity is required.

ProtectRNA ribonuclease(RNase) Inhibitor inhibits most nucleic acid binding enzymes such as RNase and DNase, reverse transcriptase, some RNA and DNA polymerases, protein synthesis enzymes, and several restriction endonucleases. In contrast, ProtectRNA does not interfere with DNA and RNA hybridizations. The action ofProtectRNA as a nuclease inhibitor can be used as an advantage for in situ hybridization. ProtectRNA is useful during all steps of in situ hybridization for tissue RNA protection from RNase degradation. It is recommended to add ProtectRNA to all aqueous solutions used, from as early as the deparaffinization step until the hybridization is completed.

Application

ProtectRNA RNase Inhibitor 500× Concentrate has been used in:
  • RNA extraction
  • tissue sectioning and staining for laser capture microscopy
  • the isolation of blood vessels from hippocampi
A potent inhibitor of most nucleic acid binding enzymes, and thus useful as an RNase inhibitor. Especially useful when performing in situ hybridization. If it is added to all aqueous solutions used, it eliminates the need for special glassware washing and after-wash treatments. The 500x concentrate is economical; 2 ml treats 1,000 ml of solution. Not recommended in systems where other enzymatic activity is required.
ProtectRNA RNase Inhibitor 500× Concentrate is an RNase inhibitor.

Features and Benefits

  • The 500× concentrate is economical
  • Eliminates the need for special dishwashing and“after washing” cleaning and treatments.

Preparation Note

2mL treats 1,000ml of solution.

Other Notes

This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. Does the compund interfere with fluorescent light microscopy?

    1 answer
    1. Theoretically, there is a component that may interfere with fluorescent light microscopy; excitation ~310 nm, emission ~425 nm and (minimally) 530 nm. However, at working dilution of 1:500, the optical interference may be reduced. We recommend choosing fluorescent markers and filter sets that avoid these wavelengths.

  2. Is this compatible with qPCR and LAMP?

    1 answer
    1. This product is not tested for compatibility with qPCR and LAMP applications. Therefore, no references are available.

  3. Hi , what the inhibitor is ? I would like to do rna electrophoresis in agarose gel. Will this affect RNA move rate?

    1 answer
    1. The exact identity of the material is proprietary. This material should not affect the migration of RNA on an agarose gel.

  4. Hello, I am wondering what the concentration in U/uL of this RNAse inhibitor is. U being units. Best, Charles

    1 answer
    1. Unfortunately, this product is not tested to determine the unit activity. The solution is performance tested with a recommended starting dilution factor of 1:500.
