General description

illustra™ CsTFA is a strong chaotrope that not only inhibits ribonucleases, but also promotes the hydration and solubilization of nucleic acids and proteins. Due to its high solubility, solutions can be made with densities of up to 2.6 g/mL.

Application

illustra™ CsTFA (solution*) is a strong chaotrope that not only inhibits ribonucleases, but also promotes the hydration and solubilization of nucleic acids and Proteins. Due to its high solubility, solutions can be made with densities of up to 2.6 g/mL. This feature, combined with the fact that nucleic acids have relatively Low buoyant densities in CsTFA (as compared with CsCl), means that RNA can be banded isopycnically in CsTFA gradients. Conditions can also be chosen in which RNA pellets at the bottom of the gradient while DNA is banded, thus allowing very effective purification of RNA from DNA.

Features and Benefits

  • Effective inhibitor of ribonucleases
  • Can separate RNA and DNA.
  • Soluble in ethanol so nucleic acids can be recovered from the gradient by ethanol precipitation.
  • Strong chaotrope.
  • Promotes the hydration and solubilization of nucleic acids and Proteins.
  • Designed to ensure high reproducibility, yield, and purity with every experiment.
