Invitrogen™ EDTA (0.5 M), pH 8.0, RNase-free

Invitrogen™ EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a 0.5 M aqueous solution at pH 8.0, prepared and certified RNase-free for sensitive molecular biology workflows. EDTA is a widely used chelating agent that sequesters divalent metal ions like Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, thus inhibiting enzymatic activities, particularly nucleases. This Ambion™ molecular biology-grade reagent is manufactured in nuclease-free facilities and rigorously tested to ensure zero detectable RNase, DNase, or endonuclease activity, making it ideal for RNA and DNA preservation and handling.

Key Features

• RNase-Free Certified – Ideal for RNA handling, protection, and processing
• 0.5 M, pH 8.0 – Optimal for most nucleic acid protocols
• Molecular Biology Grade – Free from endonucleases, exonucleases, and RNases
• Ready-to-Use – Supplied as a sterile-filtered solution in screw-cap bottles
• Manufactured in RNase-Free Facilities – Ensures reagent integrity and reproducibility
