Application
Protector RNase Inhibitor may be used to: Protect mRNA in cDNA synthesis reactions, RT-PCR (in conventional thermal cyclers and qPCR systems), e.g., with the LightCycler® Instruments, in vitro transcription/translation system, RNase Protection Assay, in vitro RNA synthesisProtect viral RNA during in vitro virus replicationInhibit RNases during RNA isolation and purificationHelp prepare RNase-free antibodiesSynthesize RNA probes for in situ hybridizationIt is useful in any application where RNases could be a potential problem.
Features and Benefits
Rely on a thermostable RNase inhibitor: Protector RNase Inhibitor remains stable even when using thermostable reverse transcriptases such as Transcriptor Reverse Transcriptase. Benefit from a wide range of reaction conditions: Protector RNase Inhibitor is active at pH 5.0 to 9.0 and at temperatures between +25°C to +55°C (partial activity is still measureable at +60°C). Eliminate interference in different RNA analysis applications: Maintain performance even when adding at 16-fold higher than the standard concentration. Insist on a highly-purified preparation: Each batch is function tested using techniques such as quantitative RT-PCR to ensure the absence of endonucleases, ribonucleases, or nicking activity, according to the current quality control procedures.
General description
Protector RNase Inhibitor inactivates a wide spectrum of RNases, including RNase A RNase B RNase T2Thus, Protector RNase Inhibitor can help prevent RNase degradation in any application where RNases could cause problems. For instance, it can: protect mRNA during cDNA synthesis reactions, RT-PCR (in conventional thermal cyclers and qPCR systems), or in vitro transcription/translation reactions protect viral RNA during in vitro virus replication inhibit RNases during RNA isolation and purification be used in RNase protection assays help prepare RNase-free antibodiesNote: Protector RNase Inhibitor does not interfere with enzymes commonly used to prepare or analyze RNA.
ContentsProtector RNase Inhibitor (40 U/µl) in storage buffer: 20 mM HEPES-KOH, 50 mM KCl, 8 mM dithiothreitol, 50% glycerol (v/v), pH approximately 7.6 (+4°C).
