Ribonuclease (RNase) Free Supplies

Trace amount of ribonuclease (RNase) contamination can sabotage your laboratory experiments. RNA is known to be difficult to work with because it is readily degraded by RNases that are ubiquitous in the environment, including on our hands. Utilizing certified RNase-free supplies and reagents can help protect your experimental results.

Manufactured with rigorous nuclease (includes RNase) contamination controls that include stringent quality specifications, our products are designed to meet the needs of researchers working with RNA. Our nuclease-free products are tested to help ensure that no traces of contaminating nonspecific endonuclease, exonuclease, and RNase activities are present.

Presence of nucleases such as DNase and RNase can degrade a molecular sample, interfering with downstream analysis. Researchers working with RNA know that RNA is unstable and degrades rapidly. Even trace quantities of RNases can lead to lower yields from in vitro transcription reactions, degradation during RNA purification protocols, and produce variable results after RT-qPCR. It is vital to protect targeted molecular samples from the RNases that can break them down. All labware should be RNase-free before commencing molecular research; this includes instruments, surfaces, protective wear, and consumables involved.

In support of our commitment to providing the highest-quality products, information, and services, our site in Austin, Texas has obtained ISO 9001:2000 registration. The achievement of ISO 9001 registration assures that quality systems and procedures have been developed and implemented in product design, production, and support operations. ISO 9001 certification is a strategic milestone in our ongoing efforts to effectively support customers. BSI, Inc., the world's largest registration body for management systems, is the registrar for Ambion quality systems.
