Thermo Scientific™ RNase AWAY™ Surface Decontaminant

Thermo Scientific™ RNase AWAY™ Surface Decontaminant is a highly effective solution designed for eliminating RNase and DNA from laboratory surfaces, apparatus, and equipment. This product is ideal for cleaning and decontaminating pipettes, gel boxes, RNA prep areas, and other surfaces in laboratories where RNA preservation is critical. RNase AWAY™ provides an efficient and safe alternative to traditional carcinogenic DEPC treatments, reducing the time spent on glassware baking and enhancing overall lab productivity.

Key Features and Benefits

• Eliminates RNase and DNA:
  RNase AWAY™ is designed to effectively remove RNase enzymes and DNA from laboratory surfaces. This is crucial in RNA-based experiments where the presence of RNase can degrade RNA samples, leading to contamination and compromised results.
• Ideal for Sensitive RNA and DNA Work:
  This decontaminant is specifically used for cleaning surfaces in RNA prep areas, on pipettes, gel boxes, or in any laboratory where RNA isolation and DNA manipulation are performed. It helps maintain a contamination-free environment for high-precision work with RNA and DNA.
• Non-Residue Formulation:
  RNase AWAY™ leaves no residue behind, which means it will not interfere with gel polymerization or staining, ensuring that your gel electrophoresis or other DNA/RNA visualization procedures remain unaffected by the cleaning solution.
• Chemically Stable and Non-Abrasive:
  The formula is chemically stable, non-abrasive, and does not contain strong acids, making it safe to use on sensitive equipment, glassware, and plasticware without causing damage or degradation.
• Time and Cost-Effective:
  RNase AWAY™ eliminates the need for DEPC treatment and the time-consuming process of baking glassware, making it an efficient, time-saving solution for maintaining RNase-free environments in laboratories.
• Safe for Regular Use:
  This surface decontaminant is a safer option compared to traditional methods that involve harsh chemicals or baking, providing a safer and more effective decontamination method for laboratories focused on RNA research.

Applications

Thermo Scientific™ RNase AWAY™ Surface Decontaminant is designed for a variety of laboratory tasks where RNase contamination can be a major concern:

• Cleaning Pipettes:
  Ideal for removing RNase contamination from pipettes before working with RNA samples, ensuring accuracy and contamination-free results.
• Decontaminating Gel Boxes:
  Use for cleaning gel boxes, especially when working with RNA samples for electrophoresis or other nucleic acid separation techniques.
• RNA and DNA Preparation Areas:
  Perfect for cleaning workbenches, glassware, and other surfaces in RNA preparation areas, ensuring that your work environment remains free from RNase contamination.
• Cell Culture and Other Sensitive Applications:
  Can be used in cell culture labs or any workspace where the risk of RNA contamination is high, preserving the integrity of RNA samples.
